My frame is in my basement and I will take a few good pics of it sometime on Friday. For now you can goto my rebuild thread and look at what went into getting my old busted windshield out of it. There is another rail with clips inside of it. Doesnt look like an easy piece to make if you ask me as there is a whole 2nd rail inside the outer rail and then the center part has clips in it hold the windshield in place.

Here is the direct link to the post - http://www.hydrostreamforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1171&start=10#p8753

Like I said, I will post some pictures of my frame this friday when I get home from work. Until then, I hope that helps a little.
