Next, get a piece of steel stock. This will be used to brace the cap from the inside of the cab as shown in the next post.

I used a 5" wide piece of 1.5" wide 1/4" thick steel. I just happened to have it laying around - use whatever you want, just make sure it won't bend under stress.

I drilled a 21/64" hole dead center of the piece. You could use a 5/16" hole if you wanted, I just wanted some breathing room and had the odd sized bit laying around.
