I am replacing my windshield divider. My replacement part lacks the predrilled holes of the original. I have a Master Deluxe model, do I need these holes? How critical is the distance between the top and bottom of the divider where it is welded in place. Can I be too high or too low in locating the divider? Any pointers are appreciated. Nice to learn from you guys rather than from the school of hard knocks! The pictures show my concerns.

SEE the predrilled holes at the top and bottom of the divider![[Linked Image from i1321.photobucket.com]](http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/41chevymike/IMG_2565_zpsb90ea06e.jpg)
Since the part seems to be prone to rust I think I will sandblast it and put a coat of Por-15 on it? Also what center rubber pieces will I need to purchase for the Master Deluxe set up. Chev's of the 40's lists a Windshield Center Rubber Division with holes (part # 4122594B) and also the complete Windshield Rubber for windshields without molding (part # 4116250E). I assume I do not need the rubber channel for holding the exterior center molding?
Thanks, Mike
