C1 Softtop bow spread dimensions needed
I am in the process of restoring my softtop frame and installing a new Al Knoch white top to my 59 Vette. I seem to remember that sometime ago someone posted a diagram showing the bow spread dimensions prior to attaching the pads. Does anyone have this they could share with me?
Thanks in advance.

Mark,
I don't remember the dimensions, but if you are installing a AK top, he has marked the location of the bows on the top pads since forever. If nobody else responds, I will go out and measure mine this evening.

I would think, from the middle of the top, distance from center of rear bow to center of each succeeding bow, and from front of header bow to middle of rear bow for a confirmation reading.
Thanks,

the guy that i use said there are no measurements ,when the screws in the bow are straight up it is in the proper place i have seen him do about 5 or 6 and they all look perfect when done
