A Pilar Differences

[MrM4]

Can someone explain to me the actual difference in a Slantback A Pilar and the other style of A pilars?

I’m gearing up for a conversion to a slantback and im finding stuff about swapping wiper motors ect... is it totally different than other windshields?

I have brackets to covert the soft top frame to a hard top frame.
Hard top frames have two Ear brackets on outboard edges, and 2 ea. slide in brackets.

Can you post pictures?

What 86 said and a soft top A pillar ( windshield Frame) has rubber bumpers on the outside / front of it and hinges to allow it to fold down.
Slant back A frame wont have the bumpers .

The helmet top must have been strictly an aftermarket add on, it looks to be designed to fit the soft top A pillar

Strangely, besides the slantback frame with "ears" and the softtop frame, there must be a third type of A-frames, which I didn´t find in any of the TMs:

The M996 and M997 hardtop ambulances have an A-frame that doesn´t have "ears", but it also doesn´t have the holes on the outside for the rubber bumpers, and it doesn´t have the holes on the inside for the folddown-footloops.

Would be interesting to know if anybody has an NSN for that, or even has got one sitting on the shelf....
