Jay, 
I'm not sure about the windshield, but odds are that it's the same.  
McCluskey could tell you. Be careful buying Cobra stuff based on  price. There 
are a 
LOT of repros out there and some are terrible.
When Butler changed the front spring tower to MarkII it included the rack  & 
pinion mounts. The R&P is from MGB, as it was on all 289 Cobras.  The Brits 
didn't make items if suitable parts were already available. (The  license plate 
light was used on British taxis for 20 or 30 years  as were  the tailights) 
The Tiger gas cap is also the same as Cobra, and who knows what  else.
As I said in previous discourse, the front uprights, steering arms and  
spring swivels on the R&P are different from the worm and sector cars  that 
Aceca 
and the first 75 or so Cobras are. In fact, the uprights on  my car scared me 
when I first looked at them in detail.
I will send you my phone # off list.
 Bud
