Are the hinges for the 1914 windshield,brass or steel? What are the dimensions of the top and bottom frames.
Mine has steel hinges and look like later hinges. When installed and set up it appears to have too large a gap at the center fold.
Any information would be appreciated.

Re: 1914 Windshield information
Here are some pictures of the windshield hinges on my '14 runabout
The dimensions are roughly 12" for the top panel and 14" for the lower fixed panel. Sorry for the poor pictures but it's tight quarters and I ain't no photographer
