LOCATE AND DRILL WINDSHIELD BRACKET

HOLES

1. On the underside of the hood, identify lines (T) molded into the hood running parallel to both sides.

2. Place a flat bracket (I) to the inside of the line with the large hole (U) of the bracket to the rear of the hood (V) as indicated. Use the bracket as a template to mark the holes to be drilled in the hood. Do for both sides of the hood.

3. The plate location should be 800 mm (31.5 Inches) from outer edge to outer edge and the holes should be 740 mm (29.1 Inches) on center. The rear edge of the plate should be located 90 mm (3.5 Inches) from the rear edge of the hood.

NOTE: Before drilling the holes for the brackets, make sure the large hole is to be located nearest the rear edge of the hood (closest to the dashboard when installed). M86023 S M86024 M M58808 U V M58806 I T M58807 U V

4. Drill a 12 mm (31/64 Inch) hole (W) for the rear hole and an 8 mm (11/32 Inch) hole (X) for the two remaining holes. File the holes to remove any burrs. Do for both sides.

INSTALL BRACKETS

1. For each set of holes in the hood, place a welded bracket (H) on the top side of the hood, aligning the holes in the plate with the holes in the hood.

2. Insert a 1/4x3/4 Inch bolt (K) in the middle drilled hole from the top side.

3. From the underside of the hood, place a flat bracket (I) onto the bolt inserted through the middle bracket hole. Turn a 1/4-Inch lock nut (L) onto the bolt. Align

remaining hole in brackets with hole in the hood and insert a 1/4x3/4-Inch bolt from the top through both plates and turn on a 1/4-Inch lock nut. Repeat for the other side. Tighten all nuts firmly.

ASSEMBLE WINDSHIELD

1. From the inside of the windshield, install one grommet (D) in each hole.

2. Install one small black flat washer (C) on the threaded studs of each wire form as shown.

4. Install one clear plastic retainer (E) on each threaded stud with cupped side away from grommet.

5. Install one 1/4” hex nut (F) on the end of each threaded stud so the top of the nut is flush with end of stud (P).

6. Secure wire forms to windshield by tightening inside nuts (R). Be careful not to overtighten as grommet (D) may be severed by flat washer.

7. Install one black plastic cap (G) over the clear plastic retainer surrounding the nut.

INSTALL WINDSHIELD

windshield is raised or lowered.
