windshield frame to body measurement

Post by Phil4280 »

Hi there!

Does any one have the proper measurement from the top of the windshield to the edge of the rear body? To enable you to have the windshield at the right angle to enable proper canopy fitment.

I have "had" these measurements many moons a go for CJ5~CJ6 and do have such measurements for a MB/GPW.

Cheers!

Measurements taken today by someone will not assure the correct new from the factory angle. A factory drawing drawing is needed for that. However lacking the factory drawing the correct M38A1 canvas door or arctic cab door will mark the correct angle for the windshield.
