    Don---Sorry----I had it wrong. The round stub at the end of the top of the windshield post is an actual extension of the post, and is not angle adjustable. The big wing nut at the top of a roadster window post is to adjust the tilt of the windshield frame. The wing nut part way down the post (which I think is only on 32 windshields) is to adjust the tilt of the post itself. Topster guy has it right----if you piecut the post to lean it back, you will have to pie cut or smile cut the round stub at the top of the post and tilt it an equal amount in the opposite direction. I have never actually seen either of these windshield frames except in magazines, so I was confused.
