Top Bow Measurements...

Post by OKCM38CDN »

I know this has come up before, did a search and could not find it...

I have a set of reproduction top bows, they do not come with the holes drilled in them for the rods to the windshield... I need the measurements from the pivot point to the holes...

Thanks...

This covers all but the measurement I need...

The measurement to the holes for the brackets to the winshield was not covered in this discussion...

This part wasn't what you needed?:
Dwg 2:

A - 32.5
B - 39.5

I added the following:

C - 3 (Inside radius of bend in bow tubing at top of bows - same on both)
D - 25.75 (End of bow to ctr of hole for top bow rod on outboard side of short bow)
E - 0.375 (Top bow rod hole diameter)

No prob - let me know if you need any other measurements not on that post and I will run out to the garage and measure for you.
