Abstract

A front cap housing for a vehicle body includes an integral hollow shell member with an upper convex canopy having an aperture of a configuration to receive a front windshield. The hollow shell member includes a lower convex engine cowling. The hollow shell member is configured to be variably mounted on the front of the vehicle body and includes a pair of support posts of a U-shaped configuration extending between the upper convex canopy and the lower engine cowling. A pair of horizontal plate members extend between the pair of support posts, one above the windshield aperture and the other below the windshield aperture to thereby provide a relatively rigid mounting structure.
