Wind wings

Post by Russ T Fender » Mon Mar 16, 2020 7:03 pm

Does anyone have the dimensions for the glass? I guess I can fudge it but I'd rather get it right! Thanks.

While no glass dimensions are given in the Service Bulletin, you might get close to extrapolate them from the sketch and measures of the clamp placements.

Thanks for the information. I think I have a template on the way!

Say something if you don’t get a template Val.
I’ll go and measure mine and let you know if you need.
I believe my neighbor cut the glass, he might have a copy ?

Russ,
Please post a picture and the dimensions when you get the template.
I would love to put a set of Wind Wings on my wife's cars.

Steve, here is the template I received. I don't have access to my car right now so I can't hold it in place to see how it looks but it seems to be very close to the glass pictured in the Ford brochure posted earlier in this thread. The bottom of the glass is somewhat rounded on the template but I would probably make it parallel with the top. Hope this helps.

Hi. Took some pictures of my 26 roadster. Seems the sides are parallel sideways and up-down. 200mm X 440mm.
