Sad news indeed and a lot of work to get back to where you started. The good news is there are some really experienced guys here who will provide sage advice. I second the digging into hell hole thread
This will also be your friend http://www.914world.com/specs/914info.php click under dimensions and there are diagrams & measurements to figure out just how far out you are now and where you need to get back to Don't think about bracing between roll bar and screen frame! You will just make matters worse and bend the screen, use the door bar method as suggested Good luck |
