1929 phaeton wind wings
Hi sure could use some help!!! I am trying to get my car ready for 2019 nationals if you have any pictures of the correct hardware parts to mount the glass. On the wind wings .I am sure that the repo that the vendors sell are wrong especially because of the domed nut on the outside of the car and there is no washer between the body and nut . I think I saw a car at the old car festival in 2016 it was what seemed to me from memory was a flat cad bolt? And if anyone has or knows where I could purchase the proper hardware please let me know I thank you all for your help in advance joe

Re: 1929 phaeton wind wings
I have a set of wind wings on my '29 Phaeton. They were made by Vintique and are rubbish!. If yours are the same, expect trouble. As for mounting, I rely on memory from about 10 years ago but I think they can be mounted two different ways, I'd check how others have done it before deciding how you want to do yours. When fitting the glass, it is near impossible to keep it in the clamps and not have it fall out on the road. I removed the glass and replaced it with perspex - it is lighter. The verticle bolts that they pivot on are made of play dough and the domed nuts bottom out before they tighten. There are more shortcomings than just those with Vintique (Craptique)
