This is the complete windscreen frame removed from a Fordson WOT 2H I recovered but obviously refitted from a WOT 2D at some stage. Or a Bedford!!

Is the glass frame made from steel ? Hard to tell in that pic but it appears to be so Mike

[jack neville]

Yes Mike. Steel frame. This one should clean up ok. Any spare ones about?
