These may help on the seat irons, shots of my reproduction '09, may not be totally factory. Two long irons on each side, and two shorter irons on the backrest. The buggy rail bolts to these irons.
The top prop iron is wrong year in this photo. The prop irons are a split yoke type with two mounting holes.

This may confuse the issue but I have a picture of Kim Dobbins original 1910 touring top irons. The picture shows the iron which was different from my 1909, which I suspect was a not completely accurate reproduction.
The bolts you see going into the body are supported on inside by irons rising from the body floor. I believe mine are similar to those shown in earlier pictures in this thread.

I think what you need is in Bruces encyclopedia on pages 57 -60 very good pictures of a very original 09 roadster. Maybe some one could up load the pictures if you don't have the book.
