Need instructions! Hallock windshield. Need help!

I just bought a Hallock windshield frame to my -29 rpu project. I think it`s some reproduction frame `cause there is two separate parts and no groove for the windshield.
Does anyone know anything about it??
Sorry i don´t have pics yet, but soon...

 

Jaypee, The windshelds were as far as I know always in two pcs. Yes it is a repop, they were made here in Calif buy a friend of mine, He had some of the grooves cut and then decided not to add to the price and sold them as cast. You will have to take it to a machine shop for the grooves. As far as installation it is a file to fit, you must cut off the stantions for it to drop in the holes left behind after cutting stantions off. I hope this helps, good luck.--TV

 

Thanks TV. How people usually mold the centerpost together.
I think everything else is pretty easy.

 

Jaypee, I don't believe they mold them togeather, The ones I've seen are just fitted togeather very well, and polished I'm almost sure that none I've seen were welded. Now as far as the back side holding I think they use non headed alens from both sides, not sure on that one though. But I will find out for you.--TV

 

Does that guy still sell them? I'd like to have one.

 

Thanks a lot TV.

Jaypee

Where did you get that windshield?

 

It came to Finland from Sweden. I just bought it from my friend.

 

F-HEAD has a real one on his "A". Might try to pm him for info????.....OLDBEET

 

Try this guy, he builds them, I believe they are $600 with the groove and $350-400 W/O. mill69_00@hotmail.com Also a photo of a KILLER hallocked rpu...

 

PLEASE keep us (me) posted on your installation progress...

 

That`s the way. Killer!! Is it yours??

 

****ER!

I've got one of those. Put it on my '29 Phaeton. I had to narrow the cowl slightly to make it fit. Mine came with no tabs that fit in the door posts, so I had to make bracketry that bolted the corners to the top of the posts. I welded my two halves together after I fit it to the car and clamped the center pieces together. That added a lot of rigidity to the body which needed it because I removed the dash (cut tank). After that, it's a grind and file operation to sculpt a decent looking and fitting frame from the rough castings.

I hope you preservere, they do look good.

 

Hmm...looks like my old one, the one I sold, I think it went to Finland.

 

Yes, it`s the same.

 

Progress? BTTT

 

I`ve been busy working with frame, motor mounts,boxing,zìng,
etc.I`m gonna post some pics little later.

 

A little "tip" I learned after installing my repop Hallock: The halves are not perfectly in line from the outside ears to the centers...lay each one on a solid, flat surface, and very carefully bend the protruding end down until you have an even surface; otherwise, your gl*** channel will be off.

 

Progress!!
Almost finished the K-member.

One more

 

I must admit this is one of the cleverst crossmember-trans mount-pedal bracket combos I have ever seen. Very cool. I suppose you going split bones. Will they mount to the rails or to that K-member too?

 

I found a set of old hairpins from swapmeet last year, so i think i`m gonna use them.

 

Hairpins. What do you guys think. Splitbones or these?

 

BTW. The engine fits like a glove.
