INSTRUCTIONS

Using this picture as your plans:

1. Hold Lexan on inside of the roll bars at level you want the bottom. This will be about 1” above the hood. Using a pen/pencil standing on the outside of the roll bars and using the middle hump of the hood as a stencil, trace the curve of the hood onto the Lexan.
2. Take 1/8” bit and drill holes close together all along line drawn onto Lexan.
3. Take ¼” bit and drill holes between all 1/8” holes. This will make the cut-out for the hump in the hood. File or grind down edges.
4. Drill (3) 1/8” pilot holes in Roll Bars.
5. Drill (3) ¼” finished holes in Roll Bars. These locations will be top, middle and just above a level line above the hump on the hood.
6. Take ¾” square tubing and drill holes in the ends of both tubes.
7. Drill holes in top corners of Lexan about ¼” from sides.
8. Take Lexan and (2) of the 4” bolts, nuts, and cut rubber grommets.
9. Take Bolt and put on Rubber grommet, Push through hole in top of Lexan, put on another rubber grommet, put one end of square tubing on bolt, put on another rubber grommet, push bolt through hole in roll bar, put on washer, then nut and tighten. But just snuggly. Not all the way.

10. Do the bottom two corners the same way. This makes everything in place so you can drill the holes through the Lexan and square tubing at the same time, and at the same location, making it quick and easy to install the rubber grommets, etc.
11. Measure the distance across from bolt to bolt and divide by 5. This is measurement you want to use to from bolt to bolt across the top and bottom on the cross braces or square tubes. Using a pen/pencil mark these spots on the Lexan, then drill your pilot holes, then drill your finished holes.
12. Using the 1-1/2” bolts, rubber grommets, and nuts, follow this: (Bolt head, rubber, Lexan, rubber, washer, nut), attach to the square tubing.
