T.J., et Listers,
There is a little peculiarity regarding Alpine/Tiger windshield frames that
is discussed in The Book of Norman, starting on page 8. This has to do with
the fact that some relatively small number of windshield frames have only a
single mounting stud at each corner instead of the usual two. This
apparently occurs in both Tigers and Alpines built in late '64 and early
'65. There are approximately 200 Tigers with this configuration, including
mine, B9472134, JAL 561703. Norm has found Tigers with single-post frames
with JALs as low as 561536 and as high as 561735. These Tigers have their
bodies drilled to match the single-post configuration. If you happen to
have one of these cars and replace the windshield frame, you may want to
preserve the originality by removing the "extra" stud rather than drilling
extra holes in the cowl.
