In the middle of a restoration where the three top pieces of the windshield frame had to be replaced. The new parts don't fit perfectly which could be due to repairs that had to be made to the two posts. I want to make sure the windshield frame is positioned and aligned properly so that both tops will again fit perfectly when the car is completed.

Would someone who has a 1971 Roadster be willing to measure the distances indicated by the strings (indicated by red arrows) in the pictures below? I have only tied strings from top of the left post to each of the rear deck pin holes behind the seats but would like similar measurements from the top of the right post as well although I would assume they are the same. Please measure from the center to center of the nylon inserts of the holes. Four measurements in total but the two sides should be the same.

I have not been able to find any alignment or position info in the AIM or any place online and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Got two 71 roadsters.
Both vehicles measure the same in both directions from bushing to bushing.
Cross measurements are all 50 5/8 inches.
Side measurements are all 30 1/8 inches.

Thank you so much. Just to clarify, you measured from the center of all the bushings, correct.

I appreciate it. This is such a great site.

Sorry, no; I measured between the closest interior edge of each bushing.

OK, Thanks. That would make a difference.

I appreciate your effort.
