Hunting for Windshield Posts

[RESINATOR]

Do you (CCR) have or in process of getting laid back ones?

I have a really nice set of the Total Performance Lay Back posts that I'm holding on to. The original plan was to have a small batch made after the Standard ones were finished. After all the issues we've gone through to get these ones done correctly, I can't imagine putting out the money or time involved in the process, for a relatively slow-moving item. The new CCR Windshield Posts are 304 stainless, and are easily cut and welded compared to the material our previous few batches were made from. The Laybacks that were previously made are actually "too" laid-back for most people's tastes anyways. So, maybe the plan is to just set up some fixtures and offer them cut and laid back to a lesser angle, instead of having them cast that way. Unfortunately, that will make them fairly expensive if buying them from us, as it's not really difficult, just very time consuming.

Yes I found that out years ago when I bought some. It blocks your entrance thru the door if you have one. I had them modified and reduced it to half the angle. If you have an over size body then they may work. Or a really short windshield.

I bought mine from ebay. they were original o.e.m model T windshield posts. i cut them shorter. They were intended for a 20" tall double paned windshield,

Update: a guy on Facebook has 3-D printed some WS posts that look pretty good. He's going to print some using carbon fiber to increase strength. Check this out:
"We had such a hard time finding windshield uprights for our 1923 T-bucket…….so after finally doing so and spending ~800$ cus you gotta buy the full kit, I thought I’d take a stab at 3d printing a pair. This is my first go at it to see if it’d even work, and I gotta say it turned out much better than expected. Next I plan on printing them out of carbon fiber." - Scott Mckay

I know this post is old but any idea if the individual who made the printed posts can still make some?
