Also, how about the terminal can? What do you look for to find a good original??

Jeff,
Try this....I think you will like it....if not, go too search...OK.

Why tempered glass and not laminated? Curious....

Laminated glass is designed to keep you in so it stays together. Tempered shatters in little pieces making it much easier for rescuers to help you in case of accident.

Probably not a problem with the A but I spent too many years taking people out of cars to know its value.

Also the tempered glass would look more original, and can't yellow or get air pockets.

I am putting in a harness form Tyree in my 32 and it is top quality. Also he takes the time to quiz you on your application to make sure all the correct connections are there. Looks just like the original including wire color etc. It also came with the diagrams you need to put it in.

I agree with Kevin and Tom, tempered glass looks much better in the doors where you can see the top of the glass. Of course the windshield has to be laminated glass. I used tempered glass in my 28 special coupe and it worked out quite well. I used 3/16" thick glass like the original plate glass thickness Ford used for the quarter windows. Thickness is more important for the quarterwindows, as the rubber channel build up, plus the glass thickness can be too much if 1/4" glass is used.
