Top bow and wiper parts

timjuhl · Posted: Sat May 19, 2012 7:49 pm Post subject: Top bow and wiper parts

I just returned from the show at Findlay,Ohio. Had a good time, saw lots of OD vehicles (170+.) They had absolutely beautiful weather! My wife surprised me by plunking down the cash to buy a canvas summer top for my M38A1 project! Geez! What a keeper! It will be 40 years for us next month and I'm certainly a lucky guy.... I digress.

When I was in Texas in December I picked up a set of top bows from Rapco but I'm missing everything else except the thumbscrews to install it. If anyone has any of the following to sell or can recommend a good source I would be appreciative.

•Mounting brackets (3 per side) that go on the tub of the Jeep
•Rods that go between the upper corner of the windshield and the forward-most top bow along with all associated attaching brackets

I'm also trying to fix up some vacuum wiper motors. I need
•A replacement acorn nut of the type that holds the wiper arm on the shaft
•A replacement wiper arm shaft (the shaft that extends out of the wiper motor and turns the wiper.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Tim

The rod work is an easy fabricate yourself item. The measurements are on the WeeBeeWebbing site.

From WeeBee's site:

I also have a few detailed photos and hardware photos at my albium:

Very useful info, Wes. I think I can bend those rods OK. Now I need to ask if someone can measure the distance from the inside face of the windshield frame to the center of the mounting hole for the rods in the attachment bracket. With that information and some pix I have I think I can fabricate a passable bracket.

Thanks!
Tim
