Ford GTB Windshield

Hi,

I'm restoring a '43 GTBC, S/N 166081 USN 113662 (RNZAF MT2806).
Still lots of work to do and stuck on a few things, firstly the windshield outer frame.
I don't have an original and have been working on a reproduction.
Does anyone have detailed photos of the top section they could email me?

Cheers, here's a pic of where I'm up to with the restoration.

Here's a couple of shots with the windshield frame attached, note the unfinished frame with top portion missing.
I have some pattern parts for the top, just in bad shape.
I'm guessing by what I have left its quite similar to MB/GPW, same with the inner frame (I also have none of that)?

I have a spare frame in good condition, might be prices on shipping though as I'm in the uk.

My GTB is marked up as RNZAF as well

Thanks for the reply, yes the shipping won't be cheap for an item of that size.
Would you be so kind as to take some detailed photos of the top section for me? Can email direct to ljbmossop@gmail.com

Prefect, Thank you very much!
Its this tricky little piece on the top tube that attaches the inner I have to figure out how to make now.

its the same as Jeep, pretty sure its available repro (original would fit better though

), would probably need 2 to cut them down.

Excellent, I was hoping it was the same as the jeep
