Default 70 Convertible Top Frame Bow measurements

I am double checking the bow spacing on my 70 convertible.

Does someone have measurements they will share?

I have original pads and straps but the pad is detached form Bow #1.


Kind Regards,


Bill

Know Tony well.

I am trying to prep frame myself to have the new top installed.

Tony has provided a ton of free advice over the years. Yes I have also paid him to do some of the work I could not do myself.


Kind Regards,

Tony and Andy rebuilt the rear suspension on my '72 vert, I still have the car, since '95....moved here in '97 so 22 years now....

on those bow measurements....what is it you need?? I am on my 3rd convertible top now....rough time installing it myself...but $$$ are hard to come by....the one before it was a lousy fit, due to the company that made it had it hanging way too lo over the side windows......this one is about 3/4" taller on that vertical seam, so fit's much better.....

Gene Slater say hi to Tony/Andy from me.....
