Help with part identification
Hi All,
It's been so long since I started my 1970 Roadster restoration, i can't remember where this bit came from. They were in a bag with other windscreen and wiper parts .... but I can't find them in the factory assembly manual .... or where they might fit on the car. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
I could not seem to upload them into the post, so they are the only two pictures in my photo album. Links below.

Please help solve the mystery.
Cheers,
BB

Hi BB,
The 2 parts in the second picture are supports for the windshield. They mount to the birdcage about 4" in from the a-pillar and the bottom edge of the glass rests on the the little bent leg of the backet. The tip of the bracket was dipped in plack rubber to give a little cushion to the glass.
They are pictured up-side down from the way they are installed.
Regards,
Alan

They attach on each end of the wiper door linkage and then mount to the cowl. they reduce/eliminate flexing of the linkage. If you have an AIM they will be in there. I have a 68 with later linkage in it so those brackets were an add on for mine.
