Technical Help Needed for 27 Ford T Touring windshield assembly

Well fellow rodders, I need some more help in solving the windshield problem on my 27 Ford Model T Touring rod.

The first problem is that there is about a 1/2" difference in the distance between the top windshield frame's legs and the bottom frame's legs. The frame is a Mister Roadster chromed frame (un-chopped and unaltered) from Speedway. I hope the pic shows what I have:




The second problem is more of a question. Look at the part numbered T7840H (just under the yellow B) it my first pic. What is it? Is it a rubber or perhaps metal cap to the bottom windshield gl*** or what? I have been unable to identify or source it.

Similarly, what is the Part T7840-1-1/4 ? Is it a rubber seal to the cowl?

FYI, I have bought the rubber kit that speedway sells and it includes a piece of rubber like the 77840-1-1/4 but for the life of me I cannot see how it is supposed to attach to the bottom of the Mr. Roadster windshield frame.

The third problem is that the distance between the windshield post top pivot points and bottom pivot points is significantly different. My unaltered steel windshield posts are reproductions that came from Ecklers. They appear to be bent somewhat. Could someone share their dimensions for C and D when mounted on your cowl??

Any help will be appreciated and acknowledged

Sincerely, Michael
