Wow, wish I had read this sooner, my car arrived with 2 of the screws missing, I ended up tapping out to 1/4 20 for the two that were missing and was able to get exact same looking screws to replace.

Hey folks, so i'm working on my later 30u (assuming its later because the engine) and starting work on the front windshield, I did not get any mechanism with car, I was able to pick up a used mechanism, but it looks like it was from a different year, i'll cobble something together out of it all to make it work, but i'm really looking to find what the original would have looked like. 

What do the channels down the side of the window 'frame' look like?

How was the original wood mechanism mounted?

What is the profile of the lower seal, and is it rubber? 

I've attached a pic of what i'm working with, and I believe it will work.

Any pics or information would be much appreciated, thanks guys.

Hey Russ, that is awesome information, I'm going to directly message you regarding parts.  Thank again!!

Thanks for those, but mine does not have the mounting hardware on the axle mounts for the shocks to mount to, furthermore mine has spring dampeners mounted on the actual springs.

Nice oval window.  Can't address suspension, but would suggest a shorter flex brake line to front wheel.  I believe the Q, U and 30U are the same.  Brake and Equipment warehouse, Minneapolis, made them for my 29U.

Yeah, i'm not sure why they went with such a ridiculously long brake line (prior to me getting it).  It is braided steel though, so that's cool!!

Hi guys, i'm trying to figure whats missing from my front suspension setup, obviously the shock absorbers, but i'm struggling to find reference pictures or parts, can anyone enlighten me?

I'll need front and rear pics, and maybe a source for the missing parts, thanks in advance.
