Hi All
Whats the difference between the M series topbow
I have 1 that it looks like they use as roll bar....
And before I try to fix it I need to know
If they are same
If not, what is different ?
I was told that is was from a M38 (but you never know)
Im going to use it on my CJ3B/M606
my biggest problem is the "foot" is bend 90deg. so I either need to try to fix it or make new ones.
Buying a new BOW is no option $350 -> $400 for a replica (MD Juan) in Sweden

I Have the 3 brackets and I also have a template with the "exact" placements of them.
M38 is more rare than unicorns here in Sweden
This is the land of GPW/MB and CJ's
many of them with Volvo B20 engine and 36" monster mudders
I got the brackets and a template from Beachwood together with the top.
It's M model of top made for my CJ3B in Winter style.
the bottom thing has expanded due to rust.
But it looks like it possible to heat it up and remove it from pipe
and replace it with one that are in better shape
I have asked around and Im hoping there is a topbow out there that have a good pair of that bottom things.

Talked to him
He said he will try to help me out.
Right now im looking for a used one to take the bottom part from
I'm affraid the shipping cost of a complete bow set is to high.
But if I fail there maybe I have to buy a new one and strip the lower part and get it shiped to me.

You just gave me an Idea Wes
they have a 800 tons hydralic press at a department I used to work at
Will talk with them next week
Only thing I need for that is a side pic of the lower part of the bow
so I get the design right
