Does anybody have a picture of where the windshield finger pulls mount on a 1930 Model A ?

Re: Finger Pulls
It might be nice to ask for clarification of the question.
On my 1930 Coupe there is nothing called a finger pull. What body style do you have? |

Re: Finger Pulls
Found them on Bratton's site, part # 28380, but have never seen them in use.
Try calling Bratton's. |

Re: Finger Pulls
Judging standards might specify the proper location. Just a thought.

Re: Finger Pulls
I believe that your open car windshield will have holes in the proper place on the bottom frame of the windshield. I also think they were painted, not bright.

Re: Finger Pulls
on my original 30 phaeton windshield they are 21.5 inches apart and 11.25 inches from the outside. On my 31 roadster with a repo windshield they are 22.5 inches apart and 10.75 inches from the outside. They are as high as possible without drilling into the window channel. Hope this helps after the jokes provided.

Re: Finger Pulls
On my 31 roadster with an original windshield, the finger pulls are located 11" from each end 22 1/4" apart on the lower frame.

Re: Finger Pulls
