Center Window Post deletion - your thoughts?

JAG. FYI, I have 1965 C337 and the wind shield was replaced a year before I bought it. It has the center support post and I don't see any problem with that. BUT A WORD OF CAUTION-please be sure to over size the holes in the wind shield to prevent cracks in the glass. The A&P and previous owner did not and there are two small cracks, that I had to repair, in the hole for the compass. I also see a benefit to having the post so the Compass and OAT gauge has something to mount to. I replaced the whiskey compass with a vertical card but I did have to drill an extra hole through the support and wind shield. By removing the old compass mount the extra hole was needed because the Vertical card compass had to be moved upward for clearance.
