I have a 1925 model T with an open body. The body or some of the windshield parts do not decode to 1925. After having the car painted I somehow have miss placed the two brackets that attached the down rod holding the windshield to the body. It is just a simple bracket that screws into the body with two vertical tabs that bolt to the rod.
I have looked in all of the usual catalogs and either do not now the correct name of the part or haven't found it yet. Thanks for any help!
from the style of glass clamp, I code the windshield to be 1915-1922. Part 7824 in Lang's catalog.
final after paint will do the body next
You are correct about the years of the windshield but the part you are looking for that holds the brace is ether home made or from something else. Not a part you will find in a Model T catalog. You might try posting a photo of the other one and maybe someone will suggest something.

Sorry you have lost "BOTH" of them. I tried enlarging it but after 200% not much can be seen.
Just a starting point .......

here are some zoomed pictures. I can only think that they got thrown away while cleaning the garage. I need to look more but I have a lot of places that they could be.
They seem similar to parts that were on transom windows in older buildings.
Maybe you could try an old hardware store or in some big cities they have architectural antique stores.

If all else fails Dave, it doesn't look like something that would be too difficult to hand fabricate.
A window awning company should have an adjustable bracket similar to what you show. It is used to attach the awning support arm to the building.
Dave,
Take a look at this part from Sailrite:
At $2.00 each, they look like a deal.
OK, I take that back. It's cast and you sure couldn't hand fabricate that for $2.00.
thomas - that is exactly what it looked like. I'll check the dimensions. Thanks.
