The profile used by Holden when they manufactured the windscreen frames for Australian Chevrolet CMPs is completely different to the Canadian types as seen in Fords here. It also seems to be more prone to rusting and has two catches on the inside to secure the screens. These are the same as used on quarter vents on other Holden made product. So no help on getting that profile. The rubber T pieces are available (although in a wider flat edge) from Clark Rubber here in Australia. There were a couple of people here trying to make the steel frames but without results so far as I know.
