Peter,
I have seen both types of windshield mounting that you describe. The "66 MK1A
that I owned had the
center mounting bolt welded directly under the windshield so it did not show
when installed on the
car. I also had a spare windshield frame that had the center bolt on a tab
that extended to the
rear of the frame so that it would could be seen on top of the dash when
installed. I believe it
came from a MK1.
