    Mason jar red glass, blue and green tinted glass also available to match your car color. Need to fab a bracket, maybe use rubber sheeting glued on or flat adhesive backed weatherstripping to pad it.

    Form a u with one long leg, the long leg gets mounting bolts, form a circle around a pipe, put outward flanges on the circle, drill holes for a bolt to pass thru, weld the bolt head to the circle and nut and washer it to tighten down. Weld or rivet the circle to the u bracket.

She got in it Sunday morning 0 miles on it and took off to St.Paul to the show on Father's day BTTF . Only problem we had was the dr window came out of the track and put a crack in it !
