Does anybody know where to get the gearing mechanism for a 1930 Durant, that raises and lowers the windshield?(not tilt out) mine has broken gears and worm gear. Is there a Ford operator that I might look for that will work? Thanks. Jim
The late Harvey Frid made a pattern and sold these, much better than the pot metal originals. Do Mike and Neil Butters have his patterns now? I'll tell you it helps to be able to crank up that windshield for some flow through ventilation.
Mike and Neil Butters do make all new gears and a new gearbox for our 30 & 31 cars windshield crank up mechanism. They have made me quit a few for about $200.00 each. You send them your old one (they don’t need the wood) and they will make an all-new hard long lasting metal mechanism. Lance Haynes
