1932 sport coupe
 

Has anyone used the sport coupe/B-400 chrome plated windshield frame from Mac's part # 32-64252-1 most interested in the quality of fit & finish. not a particularly inexpensive item @ $787.00 Thanks,Ron

Don’t know for sure but those may be fabricated by Trautwein. Trautwein makes a quality frame but there may be issues with rust starting from the inside. Apparently that is caused by acid not being thoroughly flushed out during the plating process. Is there a plain steel option?

Thanks, good question, as I understand it the sport coupes did not have a deluxe model all were standards with painted frames where as the B 400's were deluxe with plated frames; the unplated would suffice for my use, will inquire

Talked to Mac's regarding an unplated 32 sport coupe /B400 windshield frame & they show it as discontinued, will try other sources previously mentioned on monday. Also curious as to the possible fit of a 32-33-34 p.u. or model 'A', I know the height would require a chop to fit, however has anyone attempted to do so.

I’d be concerned whether or not the radius of those frames matched the Sport Coupe cowl. For dimensions check Speedway Motors online listings, they give measurements.

Thanks, I do in fact have a 32 p.u however the windshield was misplaced in the build of which I've now found & will be checking the fit & the arch of the cowl as mentioned, will post my findings asap.

Sadly, I had rust from the inside out within two years on my '34 coupe windshield frame reproduction, and it was a painted unit, not chrome.

Try the internet for NC Industries.
They make a B400 Windshield Frame
