Does anyone know if there is a taller windshield I can put on my speedster?

I'm using one that I believe came off a 29 coupe.
Are all model A windshields the same height?

What are you trying to accomplish?

You could remove the top bar and cut down the glass and use windshield adhesive to secure it. It would look cool with a curved glass and no top bar.

Well...
I am building a speedster myself and have to make a decision along the same lines. I see that you did not use the kit, as it does not come with a windshield. Though I have a cowl and windshield from a 30-31, I think the windshield that comes with kit looks better, but it is expensive! With the kit you get a choice of windshield heights, from 9 to 15 inches.

mjw, that's what I'm going to do after seeing Ross/Kzoo's speedster.
I'm too tall. The top bar is right in my line of vision, however, the seat is just about right.
I'm just going to take the top bar off and have a friend that owns a glass shop cut me the right piece.....thanks for the idea.
