Hi All,
I bought a step step mount for my jeep to set up a .30 cal but as everyone knows, the windshield hits the mount when you go to raise or lower it.
First I determined where the mount needed to be so it wouldn’t be obstructed then I took some cardboard and made a template. I had some scrap 10 gauge steel and torch cut out 2 templates and ground them down to size. I cut a little over an inch strip for the outside.
Once welded together I fit the MG Mount to the new “bracket” I ground a little too much off the edge of the mount but it turned out okay. Then welded the mount to the new step bracket. I then drilled the holes for the 2 bolts in the mount. I’m going to media blast everything then fill in edged with bondo to smooth out then paint.
Dont mind the awkward green color of the Jeep. I still need to repaint in the proper OD green.
Hope this gives others an idea on a better solution so the windshield is not obstructed by the mount.
