Does anyone know where I can get a set of Wind Wings to fit a 1928 tourer?

The brackets that fit either side of the front window pillars and hold pieces of glass angled to deflect the oncoming wind off the driver and front passenger.

Did the cars come from the factory with wind wings or are they an after market thing?

No, I think they were definitely after market items. I think there are about half a dozen or so variations available.

I'm after anything at this stage.

Thanks folks for your help. I went to a swap this morning and found most of the parts. I am still after a couple of pillar clamps for one of them but I think they will turn up in time.
