I did the test fit and it went really well as you saw in the earlier photos
The reason it was a test fit was that I knew I had to make some adjustments to the folding screen brackets as I have the easy up hood from 2000 which requires a tall side bar and retaining slot to fix the hood top rail
So today I had my metal basher's (they have the equipment for a straight and perfect cut) to cut the top of the original bar and the top off the folding screen bar so I can merge the two together
here it is after the cut was done
you can see to align the holes perfectly I bolted the two together
I'll fit it tonight and update with a photo
I'm going to do the other side tomorrow
