There are at least two different versions of the '26-27 windshield posts. I don't know if they interchange. There are at least two different versions of cowls (very slightly different on the outside at the post mount area), and the difference in the posts may correspond to the different cowls. I...

That subfloor cross brace is extremely prone to rust...at least on the open cars. It is going to be difficult to find enough cars to check that would still have any evident numbers. I'll check my open cars, and my closed car. I can say that there were at least four differently constructed...
