Made new Mezger Automatic hinge bolts. The originals had too much clearance.

Not sure what you were worried about, the hex looks pretty good from here… Nice job Richard!👍

Very nice. It's fun to see those hinges too.

Are these used on a Model T? I have never seen them on one.

Mezger windshields were used on early brass T s. For sure 09 but don't know what years after that. I'm keeping the originals.Thanks Kevin, I made them by turning, then threading the end of the rod to accept a 3/8 nut with the right size hex. I installed the nut, loctitred it down and cut rhe hex on a mill drill using the nut to guide the cuts.
