Thanks I just picked up a ‘74 and was dumbfounded on where to go with this.

[@mrbrandonamyers]

That’s awesome! Enjoy the awesome ride and I’m glad it helped. I too was absolutely dumbfounded and ended up bending the brackets and stretching the top.

Where did you get that shirt?

[@mrbrandonamyers]

My wife made it for me. During covid she got a cricket machine and starting making them and selling them on offer up. Just type in thing shirts on offer up and she custom makes them to the color and size you want.
