Asby Revisited

[Jakes Simmons]

     I ended up purchasing the '76 Ranger that I posted basing in Columbus Ohio on an earlier thread. In process of replacing all the pucks now, in March it goes to Weep No More for both tanks. I realize this subject has been covered in the past, I researched thread history, but I didn't really get a clear idea of folks' results. This Ranger has the 201 windshield but uses the original glareshield that does not extend fully to the windshield, and it is in rough shape. That area is covered by two different materials, one soft and the other plastic. Ideally I would like to find an early J glare shield that could be sent down to Hector for recovering. So far no luck calling all the salvage yards, and Hector said he rarely sees them come up anymore. My desire is one piece to cover everything under the windshield. The picture of the Ashby piece for the 201 does not give me an idea of length. Have folks installed this with long term success? I know it will require modification, is it worth the effort for a starting point or better to be patient on a used 201 shield turning up? Appreciate help in advance.

Chances are any 201 glareshield you find will need extensive repair. A J owner I know replaced his J’s glareshield with an Ashby. He spent a fair amount of time on the fit before it was covered.

Form and function of all glare shields seems to have changed over time... a lot.

Jake, FYI you can edit the title of the thread you created.... if you want.

Best regards,
