    I am in the process of fabricating a windshield frame for my 34 coupe, this frame is made up of 3 different frames and coming along nicely, I have mounted winder ***embly but need pictures of the top hinges in order to fabricate them. Any detailed pics of stock type hinges or how others have hinged their windshield would be greatly appreciated, thanks Glen 20251113_122340.jpg 20251113_131227.jpg 20251122_134558.jpg 20251123_183833.jpg 20251123_183839.jpg

    32 3w. I've no idea about 34's but can't imagine they'd be much different? Easy to reproduce the important bits with flatbar etc.

    Thanks Chris, I mainly want to see them installed to work out the angles I need to fab, I was working on the screen today and I just couldn't visualize the angle required, so instead of spending hours and hours trying to work it out I will just copy an original setup or copy another hambers good idea. I searched around and could find pics similar to yours but no pics or youtube clips of them mounted / working. Glen

  8. I can't get my eyes, hand and a scale in there, all at the same time, but it looks to be about 1-1/2" from the pivot to the fold of the bracket.
