Hi Jay,

Cobra windshields will not fit Aces and Bristols. You may have a custom built screen which is curved, but the standard glass will not fit. The arc of the cars are different by about an inch or so. When the Bristol motor was no more, AC redesigned the body slightly for the Ruddspeed Aces, this is when the smaller grill opening was used and the little "mustache ' was lost. The winscreen will not snug down. You will have a gap of 1/2 inch or so on each side by the escutcheon plates.
