    Thought I'd try again on the idea of tilted roadster windshield brackets. At least maybe to get some comments on the roadster in the carnut site. It looks to me that the top of the posts must have also been tilted so that there would be a mount for the front bow. I guess that means the windshield frame brackets have been cut and "Z-ed" like a frame, with maybe a 20 degree Z. One drawback seems to be that the bow still forms a protruding edge on the top which kind of reduces the slight gain in streamlining with the back tilt. Maybe the brackets and bow can still be set up so there is less of an "eyebrow"? My interest is in a sort of poor man's Duval windshield by just tilting the glass back. Comments?
