I have 3 different windshields, 3A, 2A, ?
I noticed that my 2A and the ? windshield is different in heighth. Both are the split windshield type.
Is the military windshield 2 inches shorter in height then the 2A?

 Thanks, Jim

The other windshield is likely for a MB or GPW.

   Jim,
   Well, that was a quick and easy answer !
   I should be at your house around 2pm coming up Friday, and we'll take a look at your windshields, and talk Willy's over a Cold-Soda-Pop. That should work for a couple of old retired farts.   right. THINK - GPW. *just teasing GPW)
I have personally seen your fabrication skills on your modified motor mount. Nice Work Guy !!
   
   Now, after we spoke today, I did some snooping around in the RuffStuff website to take a look at that motor mount bushing Ruff offers, and low and behold, they offer quite a selection of Fabricator Parts and Steering Components and Disc Brake stuff.   Like looking through a Candy Store !
   Maybe on Friday if I arrive earlier, i'll drive us up to Ruff.
   Get this, in the story of how that business evolved from bicycle trick parts to 4x parts was interesting because he had 40 offroad shops within a 100-mile radius, asking him to promote his products on-line as a supplier.
   So, 40-off road shops in a 100-mile radius tells me Ruff is in the middle of Rubicon Country !    The Rubicon jeep trail is pretty ruthless on equipment. Where is that SM420 ?   omg.

Only if it's a GPW windshield.  Is the "F" mark there?
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

Oh.  Well, if the mark is there, you can sell the frame for a bundle to a GPW guy.
