I bought a '33/4 roadster windshield frame from Drake. I don't know who his supplier is. Possibly Mr. Roadster aka: Speedway Motors.
The radius on the bottom where it meets the cowl was 1 inch too much. With the seal in, there was about a 5/8 inch gap in the center. It fit fine at the ends where the post are.
I have used frames from Truatwein and have always been extremly pleased. Excellent.

Is there any way to tell the maker? I bought one many years ago from the V-8 Shop for a project that never materialized and would like to know if it is any good?

Trautwein makes the good one. Good example if every body buyes the cheap one that's all there will be.
