hallock dimensions

[kustomkoupe]

does anyone on here have a hallock windsheild....im trying to figure out the angles ...of the main center post and the 2 sides...i assume they have to be the same...also the angle of the V in the front...plus any other measurements that you think may help me...all im going by is a few pictures i can find...if i end up making my own im sure it will be different but its good to have a point to go by...i have a few peices of angle setting up now at about 40-45 degrees...looks pretty good ...but trying ti figure how it will work out with the coupe cowl...i think if i take off the cross support and mount it where those 2 rivets are..anyways thanks in advance for anyone who can help

Aim at 45 degrees,leave a 10mm(3/8") glass gap. From a few preliminary sketches here at work, measuring inside the glass track, the outer posts are 7 inches high and the center post is 11 inches high. There is also about 1.5-1.75 inches of material between the bottom of the track and the body. If you can wait till next week (just after easter) I'll be able to take a few accurate measurements, as the ones listed above I think I shortened the posts a bit as I wanted a 'low' look.

Can't do it over the next few days due to the car being at my parents place and won't get a chance to get there.

Trust this helps.

Cheers,
