Been putting together my original 32 roadster after completing paint. I was fitting the windshield today and have a couple questions.

The lower stanchions have a 3/8 fine thread stud to mount the upper stanchions. The threads on one of mine are badly worn (but not cross threaded or anything like that). Can this stud be removed to be replaced? These are original lower stanchions.

Second question regarding the windshield frame. This is an original with minor rust through in the lower corners. Is there a good chrome shop that will braze/brass the pinhole rust and then do a decent job plating? This car is mostly all original '32 parts and I'd like to keep it that way.

Thanks!
