UPDATED 5/18/16 - Okay, if you thought my recent resurrection of the lower windshield to cowl bracket was an obscure detail for these cars, here's a one-up that will not surprise some of you who followed my build.
Original post follows.....
I found this little aluminum tag at Cobra Restorers. I installed it with 4-40 brass screws with slotted heads; just drilled and tapped the brass windshield frame. Like all the other screws in the frame, though, these will get shortened so that they don't cause a crack. Not an important part, but just one of those little touches that will make some scratch their heads when they try to figure out if it's real or not.
Sorry for the blurry pic -
