    Just wondering because I need the steel part that fits between the screen frame & the gas tank ( cant remember the parts name ).
    I know of one for a 28/29.
    Are they similar to 30/31 ?
    If the screen frame is interchangable then I could modify the part fairly easy I would have thought.
    Any ideas.
    Thanks very much.

    Andy.
     
  2. windshield?
    i think they are just different heights
    and have different locations for the wipers
    we are talking closed cars correct?

    Oh yeh...... I forgot.
    The 30/31 is a Sedan.
    I think the 28/29 is a Coupe.

    different enough that you'll have to do some modifying, if I understand the part you're talking about...do you have a picture? On the 28/29 there's a bit of vertical sheet metal that extends down from the bottom of the windshield to the cowl/tank. On 30/31 the windshield frame sort of rests on the cowl (larger cowl than the 28/29)

    Been studying some pics & your totally right.
    I didnt realise how different that part is between the two models.
    Its just I was told the Screens were the same, but didnt realise how different the lower panels were ?
    I do now.
    Cheers, Andy.
