Help with some TigerTop parts.

[lunyou]

Anyone with a TigerTop want to help me out?

I need the dimensions of the two bow couplers between the left and right side, and I also need the dimensions of the horizontal windshield brackets.

This is what I am missing to finally get a top on my truck.

Thanks

The little brackets on the corners of the windshield have a large (3/4"?) hole for wiggle room. Any bracket with a hole aligned with the edge of the windshield frame about 3/4" off the back of the frame will work.

I would go measure my spreaders, but I am overseas. You could just install the top, and push the frame out to the side about as hard as you can, and measure that distance.

Nothing about the top is all that exact.

^Thanks. I figured I could make the brackets without much trouble.

Honestly, I don't even put bolts in those brackets anymore, I just use a re-usable zip tie per side.

Also, when drilling for the snaps, be careful not to place the one right behind the door post too far back from the door post. Mine are just a little too far back, and it prevents the top from staying wrapped around the vertical part of the door frame and can make it hard to get on.

Well my truck has had a tigertop before. I didn't notice this until I recognized the windshield retainers. So I am hoping the holes drilled for the snaps are good, if not then I'll have to drill new holes.

Thanks.

I'll get on making those spreaders or having someone make them for me. Then I know I can made the windsheild horizontal bar brackets,
