1914 windshield?

Post by Dan Hatch » Wed Apr 14, 2021 10:32 am

I took a pair of 14 windshield hinges apart to clean them up and found what looks like brass plating on the screws and nuts that hold hinges together. Spring inside the hinges looks to have copper plating on it. Has anyone ever seen that? Dan

Yes Dan. So many restorers overlook those details. When I restored my '13 several years ago, I had all of those things re-plated.

Thanks Larry. I will remember that when I get to my 14. Dan
