Can anyone help me with dimensions for the location of the snaps on the upper front of a 30-31 Deluxe Roadster/Phaeton windshield frame? I have an older repo frame that looks very good but was never drilled for the snaps. I also have what I think is an original windshield frame which is too far gone to restore. I want to be 100% sure I get those snaps in the correct locations.
I asked Lebaron Bonney for info (I plan to buy one of their top kits eventually) and they sent me some dimensions that seem to be off slightly, perhaps because of a quick measurement error? I really want to get this right before I spend a bunch of money to replate. I don't want to buy a new repo as I understand the miter joints are off.
Any help appreciated. Thanks! Mike from Wisconsin
