GP inner windshield
Are there any differences between a GP and a GPW inner windshield?
Does anyone have some good pics of a GP windshield?
Thanx.

Re: GP inner windshield
I'm curious about this also. I've slipped a MB/GPW inner frame into my GP outer and it fits but I want to say the hinge is a tad longer on each end. I'm just making this assumption on pictures I've seen as I don't have a GP inner to compare.

Looks indeed very similar to the GPW inner windshield. https://www.thehenryford.org/collection ... =gs-184319 Yves

Re: GP inner windshield
If it helps these are all drawings related to the Ford GP windshield, that were published on THF.

Great pic.
Are we looking at an inch in from the edge of the inner windshield?
Is that a guesstimate or is that measured.

Re: GP inner windshield
Just to make things confusing. I noticed this windshield on an early slat grill i recently rescued? Thoughts?
The rest of it looks like a typical MB style, Not like the GP.
