Hi Jack

Unfortunately the job was done by who restored the car ~14 years ago. Since then I am the second owner and do not know how to contact the first one, who restored the car.

Nevertheless, at my return home tomorrow I will take a closer look to see if all the holes were drilled or not.

I am new in model A, but from pictures of other cars (1929 Tudor) I will bet they were drilled.

I will report back with an answer.

P.S. : I live in MA and last week we had the hottest week of this summer 80-90 F. There was no need to use the fan. With the windshield open driving the car at ~25-30 miles/hour was very comfortable. I only feel how warm it was at the traffic lights stops.
