CJ Windsheild Angle???
Does anybody know the angle that the windsheild comes off the tub. I was wondering when building a roll cage if a 45 would work where it breaks over.
Thanks
Dusty

from the tub to the windshield frame on the inside? probably over 120, if I understand your request

I' m talkin about the angle of the hinge is so i can bend the pipe so it will run the same distance from the windshield to the front of the door.

I call it the windshield rake angle... ..

My "Angle-o-meter" is two 2 foot pieces of flat stock bolted (hinged) together snuggly, I put one side against the tub door hinges, then adjusted the other end to match the rake (angle) of the windshield... I then snug up the bolt hinging the pieces together so it won't move...

As your bending you can hold your angle-o-meter up to your tubing and keep bending until they match..

If I'm not mistaken, it's 72 degrees. At least my CJ was/is.
