I just finished installing a new-complete windshield assembly on my SPF #131... You know that you have to "shim" the windshields on the sides to make them fit right? A new windshield "frame and all" will more then likely NOT be "exactly the same size" as your original one, so you shim them into place...
My original windshield on #131 also had "zero" shims, but most of the SPF's DO have shims of some sort, even right from the factory...
They are usually aluminum plates that are wedge shaped to some degree...
1/2" differect in overall width is only 1/4" per side, and not out of the realm of "fit-ability" based upon the 3-4 different SPF windshields that I have seen/helped replace....
The key to shimming them right is to make the shims so that NO force is exerted on the windshield legs, when the mounting bolts are tightened...
