    I am trying to get new windshield hinges (preferably ones drilled for side mirrors) to put on my '74 CJ5. The problem I keep running into is that all I can find are parts for '76 and up.

    Does anyone know where these can be purchased for my application?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    You can not purchase them new. No one makes them. However, I have two extra sets. I think one set is drilled passanger and driver side for mirrors. One set I have is NOS for the uppers and still have the amc tag on them. One set is from an old CJ but I've cleaned them up with a wire wheel. I might have even sandblasted and primmed with an etching primmer. I usually do but I don't know if I've made it to that pile or not.

    Ebay also has them. I've seen them go for as little as 30 bucks for the upper half of the hinge to as much as a hundred for a hole set.

    If you need a set let me know and I'll see how much I've got into them.

    AALLISON - I pm'd you about the hinges. I am interested. If you have pics that would work too, but if not no big deal.

    Got 2 PM's. both answered. I'll post picts tonight if I can get the darn camera to work. I'll send the links by PM since this is not the "For Sale" forum and I don't want to use it for that. I just wanted to offer some help to scuter83.

    But I think I can get a few more sets than I currently have. Anyone that wants them, PM me.
