Just a follow up here. I replaced the screws that hold the wind wing brackets to the wind shield frame. They were 10/24 threads and all were roughly 3/4" in length but I did have to shorten them. It was kind of difficult to straight up and measure because they enter the frame at an angle. I started with 1" stainless allen head screws. Each one ended up being a slightly different length to get a snug fit with about 1-2 threads of engagement. They felt tight and secure when finished. I found the best method of shortening was to use a screw cutter feature on a pair of electrical pliers I have. The grinder sort of distorted the threads and since I was only getting a couple threads the first one counts. Mission complete.
