Title: Windshield Hold down strap
Post by: Shalka04 on October 08, 2012, 04:17:59 AM
My project is almost there, just a few small things, AND most of the wiring harness then it will be on the road.
I can't for the life of me figure out how the strap (from Walcks) is supposed to go / face for the windshield hold down. �Any pictures on what is "Right" would be appreciated. �I've found enough Bubba efforts on the web that I'm totaly confused.

And on another subject of interest.
I couldn't stomach the the idea of paying $600 or more for a new copper based radiator, so I went with this option. �It was only $250, all aluminum construction, and supposedly is competition grade and will cool up to 750Hp, AND it was set up for a 2a, which in this case let me hard pipe the plumbing instead of going with hoses.

 :-[ I just use a rope to hold the windshield down. I tried the web strap and couldn't get it tight enough to keep it from bouncing so I resorted to a rope. I'm thinking about using medium to hard rubber as the windshield support blocks rather than wood. Keep in mind my Jeep is for use rather than show so it has to work out in the rough and tumble world.
