The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Roadster Rear Window and Body Socket Hole Size

Rear window in 31 Deluxe Roadster -

How may screw holes does the original window frame have? My frame has 12 holes but I get the impression from reading the LeBaron Bonney catalog that there may be 16. My screws are 5-40 by 13/32 long and look to be old brass with most of the plating worn off the tops.

What type of glass was originally installed? Mine has the old safety lamination glass with a total thickness of ¼"?

Is there any "special" masking that is applied to the glass edges prior to assembly in the frame? The only thing I have seen recommended is black electricians tape. The window had some black trim on it that was a bit thicker than electricians tape.

Body socket -

What is the hole size needed to install a body socket?

Thanks for your help,
Dan
