Could I use an MB windshield on a 3a?

Yes.

The MB shield is pretty short.  You might have to reduce the thickness of your seat cushion a bit.

Yes.  All Flat Fender shields are interchangeable.  The pivot brackets are slightly different between the 2A/MB...and the 3A. 

The 2A shield is about 2-1/2" taller than the MB shield.
The 2A shield is 3"ish shorter than a 3A shield.

Thanks Specialty.  You�re too kind.  I�ve picked up a few things over the years, but there are way smarter Willys guys here than I am.   Half the stuff I�ve learned has happened from the dumb mistakes I�ve made. :P
