Windwings help quite a bit.
These are 1/4" Lexan - trade name for Polycabonate - in Vintique re-pro mounts.
As do quarter windows.
The ones shown are 1/8" Lexan and were prototypes.
The 1/8" Lexan vibrates and buzzes due to airflow.
Use 3/16" and no problems.
Mounts with two slightly longer than normal stainless sheet metal panhead screws with flat washers into the oak bow and an 8-32 stainless allen head with flat washer and nylock through the oblong hole near the bottom of the stainless top iron piece.
Next project for the 32 - now that winters almost over - a pair of swing down side windows.
I don't expect to seal the cockpit off all that well, but one of the secrets to running a roadster in cold weather - 16 degrees F being my personal best - is keeping the big drafts out and using a heater, which I have.C9

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
