I picked up a YJ windshield last weekend from a part out. Got it home, took off the lexan windshield and installed the jeep windshield/frame. Yes, it bolts right up, but only after removing the forward ROPS. Not going to work, especially if you're tall.
After clamping the jeep windshield onto the OE ROPS, I took some measurements:
To mount the YJ windshield frame, and still utilize the OE ROPS, the windshield needs to be moved forward 2", and up about 2". I went to the steel yard and got a 9"x63" piece of 1/8" steel, and had it bent 90*. Hindsight, I should have had it bent to 70*, but with a new cowl seal, it should be OK.
I used the Mahindra windshield cowl plate as a template to mark and cut the curve for the cowl, and drill my holes. The holes are elongated, so I used some 1/4x3/4 steel tubing cut to 2" to make some standoffs. Bolted it all in place, and this is what I have so far.
Attached is a picture of the windshield bolted right up to the OE ROPS mounting holes.
