    Does anyone have any pictures of what factory drivers side and passenger side hat-channel would look like on a '66 CJ5. (w/V-6 if that matters). I am running into a little snag and need to find out what they look like on the body. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I actually bought item #H00302 from them but sent them back because I think they sent me item #H00213. I have already cut my stock ones out and need to find a picture of stock hat channel to see what they look like on the jeep.
    Thanks,

    Does anyone have any pictures that would detail the bolt hole locations, specifically the forward horns that are closest to the firewall? I don't remember mine being bolted down there but I am currently working with classic enterprises right now and we ar etrying to find a detailed picture.

    Thanks,

    The horns don't bolt to the frame. There is a small hole in each one but I believe they were put there to align the pieces on a jig when the tub was assembled. The furthest forward bolts are the ones in the front floor.
