Windshield ID
I need some help Id'ing a windshield, it came with some T parts I picked up to do a speedster. I'm more of a Model A guy so I'd like to know if it is a T or not before I offer it for sale.
Thanks.

Re: Windshield ID
Was the top part of the hinge welded to the frame, riveted or held on by screws? If it was brazed/welded then the whole thing is 1917 to 1923, the mounting brackets at the bottom are home made. Yes T.

Re: Windshield ID
Thanks for the reply. The bottom brackets are what held up my research. The top part of the hinge is welded to the top frame. Mark

Re: Windshield ID
It does no resemble any Model T windshield I have ever seen. Could be for a truck since it is so tall. For sure not Model T.

Re: Windshield ID
Looks like what was a nice 1917 to 23 T windshield that some one made into junk.

Re: Windshield ID
Here is why it can't be a Model T windshield.
The hinge is welded or riveted to the upper frame - see the arrow pointing at the area being discussed: Now look at the hinge on a real Model T Ford windshield - there are screws securing the windshield frame to both upper and lower hinge: |

Re: Windshield ID
That was a good trick to weld that frame with plate glass in there, OR weld the frame and REPLACE the plate glass in there! When stuff is a 100 years old ya just cant say... could've been used on a buckboard for all we know! Don't even waste your time across the hall... ws
This is an earlier T Truck (I don't think it was a TT) and some fabrication pics from my speedster with new SOLEX safety glass and semi finished, pending install DONE
