Correct on the height there, Brett. About 12".

You need to buy a shrinker/stretcher from Eastwood or someone if you don't have one already. You will also need a 48" brake.

As far as the "footprint" of the w/s mount - I made mine so that the rivet holes would be under the original w/s. That way when I put the original w/s back on those rivet holes would ne be seen.

The main difficulty in doing this project is that you are dealing with about three angles....for sure use cardboard templates so you get those angles right.

You do know about annealing the aluminum before you work with it, right?

Thanks for the pics, Jamo - I hadn't seen a couple of them before.
