Windscreen armour supports

Post by Tony Read »

Hello Tony

Could you please post some pics of the windscreen armour supports and brackets plus measure the post diameter?

Thank you

David


Hi David, no problem.

This is the base of the rod support in the closed position.

Image

Open position for folding support rods and armour down.

Image

This is the top of the rod. There is a small hole in the armour which the rod sits into, the circular plate on the rod helps give support.

Image

The middle rod has a keeper held in place by a wing nut.

Image

The support rod is 1/2" (12mm) diameter, the foot 1" wide and the circular plate 1 1/4" diameter.

Image

Note that the keeper on the rod base on the drivers side faces away from the other two. That dust gets everwhere, where's me windolene?

If you need any more info just shout!

I believe the are on his list but I want to have a go at them myself as I expect they will be a little while yet.
