I have a 1930 Standard Roadster and purchased the Open Car Windshield Gasket for that vehicle. Can anyone show me where it goes and how it gets attached? Contact cement? Should the windshield swing in so the windshield can be laid down flat? Mine hits the metal dash below the windshield...

I am trying to install the rumble seat lid on a 1930 Standard Roadster. I did not take this apart so I do not know where these pieces go, or how they are put together. I am assuming that the square nut is the correct nut to go on the hinge bolt. I do not know where the square washers go in...

At each upper corner of the opening for the rumble seat, near the rubber bumpers, are small plates approximately 1" x 2". These plates are attached by a counter sunk bolt and appear to be made from aluminum. Are these original, or something that was added later?

I have a Model A windshield visor in very good shape, even painted, but I have no use for it. How do I figure out what it should fit so I can give it away for the cost of shipping. It is NOT the type used on pickups, that much I know.
