Default Looking for Wind Wings

I am looking for Wind Wings like the ones pictured below. My doors already have the holes.

How big can you make that photo?! Try a Bratton's model A catalog, or maybe Snyder's or any other.

Already checked those. They don't have that type or parts for them.
As for the picture, I have no clue why it came out so big. I have posted dozens here the same way without a problem.

Look at the Snyder's catalog, page 188 - 189. Looks like everything you need.

Default Re:INFO NEEDED

INFO NEEDED I have a pair like those that I want to install on my 29 coupe. I believe that they should installed so that the brackets are centered on the ridges on the door and the wing vertically centered using spring washers. But I need to know where they should be positioned for and aft.

They were an accessory, so put them where you want. New ones might have a template??

I purchased the wind wing hinges from Snyders and the kid included a template of the glass. I simply had them cut. I did have them drop out and break on two occasions and replaced the rubber gaskets with two sided sticky tape, thick tape and they have been secure since. Be sure you get positioning correct as to reset is difficult and messy.
