Rod L Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 1st, anyone know of a source for the wind wing brackets for a 28 Buick Roadster? Failing that, would the WW brackets that are available for Model A Fords work? Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Desert model 45 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Rod Ford wind wing brackets require holes drilled into the stanchion post. Model A bracket requires a 5/16" hole. see first photo below. The stanchions I found for my 1925-45 Buick had been drilled thru twice, leaving a weak spot at the narrowest point, so I welded the holes closed. The other option is to use clamp on type windwings which were aftermarket accessories. There were many different designs of clamp type bracket. I can offer you a heavy brass set which is missing 1 of the stanchion clamps. price $120. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod L Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Kevin, Thanks for the response and the information. If you look at the photo above, tha stantions are already drilled with a 'screw" in the holes.I don't know if this is stock or something someone previously did? I have a set of Model A clamps on order so I will find out shortly if they work? If not, I guess I'll have to get another Model A, so they don't go to waste. 😟 Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Desert model 45 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Those 2 screws fasten the windshield frame to the upper stanchions, which fold down forward over the cowl. You could probably replace the screw with a stud, and attach the windwing to the stud. Just don't remove all the screws at the same time or the windshield frame will fall out.
