Carlite W-602 windshield. ( Free )

Post by FarmMotorSports »

Brand new only installed once.... No chips, nick's, cracks or scratches.
Has the dark tint strip across the top.
This is only suitable for chop top slicks!
This a factory Bo-Bo, :oops: it's a quarter inch to narrow and short, otherwise perfect... :roll:

If you want it, you pick it up just south of Lawrence Kansas... It should be available by November.

At least I hope to have a replacement installed by then.
May also deliver to SS , no guarantee on condition after a ride up in the bed of my slick.

I'll bring it to ya at SS... It's only a little short and narrow at the top... 1/4" each way at the top...
If you need it before then I'll work something out with you and meet you half way or better.

Maybe we can get the guys in KC and surrounding area to meet for lunch some Saturday and we will drive down and pick it up.

OK, LMC windshield installed with the same Dennis Carpenter gasket. And the fit is only marginally better if any... All four corners still have a 1/8" to 1/4" gap.

My 1964 bus windshield and 61 gasket that had shrunk so much it had torn at the original seam and had a 2" gap in the center of the gasket, and was hard as nails but did NOT have gaps like this in the corners.

I compared the original Ford to the LMC and Carlite windshield.
The Ford was thickest at 1/4".
The LMC was only thinner by a 1/64 or less.
The Carlite the worst at 3/16" thick.

Shape of all the windshields is the same as far as I can tell by stacking them next to each other.
So I am at a lost. I may pop it back out in the spring and try the LMC gasket. cuss.gif
