  • Windshield braces?

    What is everyone using for Windshield braces? Last time I used two hiem joints with a coupler in the middle and bolted directly into the cage. They seemed to make a little rattling noise. It could be that they were just cheap ones from OSH. Please post up some pics. Thanks

    Using 2 eye bolts with a coupler thingee. welded a nut to the cage and bolted them together.

      I am using hiem joints with some all thread and jam nuts. The passenger side does seem to rattle sometimes while driving on the highway.

        OSH turnbuckles... No rattles and they work like a champ so far! Same as what Ryan (71bronco71) runs on his. I think he even documented it on this site somewhere.

              I've got the OSH turnbuckles. I put nylon bushings inside the eyes and have no rattles.

                I have the same as Ryan. No rattles.

                  saw a bud at the rock race, his was a piece of tube with plate on the end that bolted the windshield to. Try to find a piece later.

                    My heim braces rattled at times too, so I put O-rings between the heims and where they mount.

                      I just used "Hood bump stops" from the junk yard.
                      I did not want anything bolted to the wind shield as much as the body and cage moved differently.
                      I just used a rubber hood stop, and welded a nut to the cage.
