    I am in the process of installing a reproduction factory-style soft top from Beachwood on my 1955 CJ5. My Jeep had a Koenig metal half cab installed pretty early on in life so all of the original hardware has long since disappeared. Beachwood was able to supply everything I needed except for the two little angle brackets that bolt to the windshield frame to accept the side rods. From what I can make out from pictures, it looks like they would be pretty easy to make (it's just a piece of angle with 2 holes for mounting to the windshield and 1 hole for the side rod) if I had a pattern, but I have been unable to find a bracket to copy. If any of you have a bracket you could trace or scan, I sure would appreciate it. And If somebody has a pair they wouldn't mind selling, that would be even better.

    Thanks

    Well, Stringbean, I just happen to have a pair. Unfortunately, the best I can do for you will be to trace an outline for you, then mail it. If somebody doesn't have a better plan for you by tomorrow am, I'll have some trace outlines in the mail for you. I'm gonna keep mine untill I figure out whether I want to make my own bikini top setup.

    PM your addy by tomorrow am, if you don't get a better solution.
