Safari window frame on a ‘63 FJ45 SWB

[Unimogguy]

In an effort to get more airflow in the fixed hard top cab. I’m swapping my early window frame for a safari window frame. Does anyone know what bracket I would need on the brown window frame for this setup to work? I have a latch for the bottom.

I’m not as familiar with the later model hardware as I am with the older trucks.

Should be this hold down bracket for windshield. But your 63 should have the solid bracket instead of hinges on the exterior? So just fab up a latch for your original lower latch that bolts into the 2 outside holes and covers where the threaded piece goes thru. Or make it like the early non removable tops and make the windshield frame solid non removable

Would be pretty easy with a piece of flat stock cut drilled for the two outside holes and the weld on a catch for the latch to grab.

What is a safari windshield?

Cool, didn't realize those were available. Why would you put a latch on a fixed top? You cold just as easily make a bracket for your existing w/s mount for the frame and reuse the lower one from the truck.
