I went to get my Flowmasters replaced with a set of MagnaFlow (I had a baffle come loose and the rattle was driving me nuts). They looked at my 401 while it was in there. They neglected to latch the hood, and my safety catch has never really worked.
Good hoods are easier to come by than windshield frames. My understanding is that only Crown and Omix-ADA are making frames, although I found a no-rib MD Juan frame on eBay. Are they all thinner sheetmetal? Which is the best choice?
I remember reading that Key Parts was developing a CJ frame, but it never got out of prototyping after the first batch had issues.
I broke down and called CB to see if they had any clean OEM frames, and they did not. The guy said they use Crown frames, which “tend” to have fewer problems than Omix-ADA.
I also called Willys-Overland to see what they use for their Repli-Tub kit, and he said that all the frames are made by MD Juan and all are thin. But I’ve also confirmed people who purchased Crown frames that were stamped “made in Taiwan.”
What is the consensus on replacement windshield frames?
