Windshield Bracket Tech
Come up with a design you like, trace it our on paper, thin cardboard

Trace it to your steel, I'm using 1 x 2 1/2 rec. tubing.

Whittle it out, using what ever you have bandsaw,cut off wheel, plasma cutter.. I used a 4" electric grinder and dressed it out with my belt sander.

Create a template for the foot of the bracket,set your angle, mine is set at 80 degree's., I also drew a bunch of circles on them triying to come up with a speed hole design I liked..Once i found a design i broke out the dial caliper's and measured, marked and started drilling....

Oh I'm working on it everyday, its just stuff not really noticable, stuff or anything worth mentioning...Stuff you will never see, but I have more time than money.. I should have my front wheel's but next week, then I need to get my brake kit for the front axle then we will be a rolling chassis.....

Thank's.. My family think's I'm nuts, "you spend how many hours measuring and cutting, then you went and drilled a bunch of holes in them"....I hope to get back out there today and get the center one finished....Thank's for the kind word's....Ryan
