The Ford Barn

Can anyone help me with dimensions for the location of the snaps on the upper front of a 30-31 Deluxe Roadster/Phaeton windshield frame? I have an older repo frame that looks very good but was never drilled for the snaps. I also have what I think is an original windshield frame which is too far gone to restore. I want to be 100% sure I get those snaps in the correct locations.

I asked Lebaron Bonney for info (I plan to buy one of their top kits eventually) and they sent me some dimensions that seem to be off slightly, perhaps because of a quick measurement error? I really want to get this right before I spend a bunch of money to replate. I don't want to buy a new repo as I understand the miter joints are off.

Any help appreciated. Thanks! Mike from Wisconsin

Ok on my original frame starting with the pass. side all from edge out side frame to center of the holes, #1. hole 1-3/8" ,#2. hole 11-3/8", #3. 22-3/8" , #4. 31-3/8" and #5. 33-3/8" [ # 4-#5 which are your vacuum shaft snaps] and #6. 43-3/8" {center to center holes for your vacuum shaft should be 2-1/8"} Good luck
