29 model A roadster stock windshield angle?
 

Working on a 29 Model A roadster project and somebody slightly modified the windshield at some point. I am trying to get it back to the stock look. Does anyone know or can measure the layback angle of the windshield? Thanks

On a cold, rainy morning in Maine I find the lay back on my '29 is between 11 and 12 degrees.Bill

It's not uncommon for hot rodders to pie cut the stanchions and pull then back to reweld at the seam. They liked that raked back look. They also liked to shorten them as well but there are short stainless steel ones available for hot rods now days.

Reproductions are available but now and then originals pop up on the various flea market web sites.
