Roll bar/wiper motor clearance?

[eBronc]

Working on my roll bar install, and I don't have a wiper motor (yet) to measure from to know how much clearance I should leave between the top front spreader bar and the top of the windshield frame.

Can I get some measurements from you guys that have these?

year?

what year bronco? I know on my 68 I have 2 wiper motors. I think the newer years have one motor with linkage, plus I think they stick out farther.

I've got 5 1/2" clear from the back edge of the windshield top (bolting flange) and the front of the spreader bar on my cage. That gives less than 1/2" clearance to the wiper motor arm as it goes through it's cycle, so I wouldn't go closer than that.
