FYI: Went to Hillbank yesterday and compared my windscreen to the older and newer version and it does not match either one. Apparantly there was more than just the two windscreen types made for these cars or my windscreen is a one off design. Everyone is confused right now as to why my windscreen is different, but Lance is taking care of it so that is the good news. Just wanted to let everyone know in case they run into the same problem.

Too bad most of the SPF bashers will never see this. That's right...THE OWNER of the company is taking care of the issue. Now that's what I call customer service. 
Hope you get it all squared away soon.

1715..
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...

Gerard and Woodz...Sorry about the monkey wrench !!. I helped assemble SPF #1973, black roadster w/under car exhaust and if my memory serves me correctly it was the high cowl with support rod windshield. Pictures on Club Cobra.
Woodz lets ask the powers that be on SCOF and see what we come up with.

I was just kidding Tony about the monkey wrench! I did think that Woodz figured out the puzzle! I will try to get a picture of SPO 1350 and SPO 1715 together, then you can see the difference. Sometimes, these differences are not as easy to see from a picture.

There is definately a reason for the differences, I would just like to find out about Woodz theory and if it was possible. Logical thinking says no, but ya never no. There's are plenty of resources on SCOF and we will find the answer. You should give a try, plenty of technical information there.

Tony,
While I agree with you.......problem is that 99% of you (I mean everyone) thinks the differences in the cars and the winshield are not viable. I can assure you that they are, since I have seen both with my own eyes. I will get pictures for the differences in the cars.
