Default Windshield Rake
Cobra's with more windshield rake (layback) look better, in my opinion.

I can increase the rake by widening the fiberglass slot the windshield post fits through. The mounting holes in the posts are much larger than the mounting bolts, so there is already a built-in latitude. The rake may be pre-defined if using with side curtains, but there are no side curtains in this case.

Between widening the slot in the fiberglass and filing more of a slot in the brass post I can increase the rake 5 - 10 degrees.

Has anyone done this?
