    How much difference in size is there between the 32 and 34 roadster windshield? Can't seem to find a 34 that has the adjustable feature. And there is an og 32 screen that keeps popping up locally.

    Completely different windshield posts. Deuces are two piece and model 40 are single piece. The 34 can be leaned back by cutting the post and re-welding.

    A `34 roadster windshield frame sides are curved, a `32 is straight until the very bottom curved area

    Ok those are both things I realize. Question is can I put a 32 windshield and stanchions on a 34?

    Every thing can be done, it will just require some indepth thinking and fabbing on your part. It would probably be easier to m***age the body to fit the 32 stanchions than to try to rework the stanchions themselves. Mitch.

    That is kinda what I figured. I can't believe nobody had tried this. Not exactly rocket surgery
     
  8. I plan on a folding windshield on my '34 tub ( long term project.) I was going to modify my '34 posts like a '32.

    I wonder if you could use 32 posts and modify the 34 frame to fit?
     
  10. Anything is possible I suppose? I've never had a '32 frame to compare with my '34?

    Somewhere I have some pics I've saved of a modified '34 post. Everything has been done before...

    I don't have either at this point, but I know what I want it to look like.

    It'd almost be easier to start from scratch, as pointed out you can do anything if you're determined enough. There's enough difference that I can't see making a '34 frame fit '32 style posts, or vice-versa.
