Are the hinges for the 1914 windshield,brass or steel? What are the dimensions of the top and bottom frames.

Mine has steel hinges and look like later hinges. When installed and set up it appears to have too large a gap at the center fold.

Any information would be appreciated.

Here are some pictures of the windshield hinges on my '14 runabout

The hinges are marked Rands Mfg.
The dimensions are roughly 12" for the top panel and 14" for the lower fixed panel. Sorry for the poor pictures but it's tight quarters and I ain't no photographer

They're steel & '14 hinges also have the "double" detent bumps - '15 & later have singles.

Thank you for the photos and information. I will now try to determine what is going on with my windshield.
