Roadster top irons??

Post by Jeepbone1 » Sun May 05, 2019 10:17 pm

I picked up these top irons thinking they would fit my uncles 23 roadster only to find out they definitely don't fit at all. Question now is, what do they fit?

Look like one-man '23-'24 touring irons.

I tend to agree with Dan. They are touring bows, with the back one missing. It is a common thing to presume that 3 bows must be for a roadster, without realising there is a missing bow. Somebody will appreciate them.

Thanks for the input. Found out that they are 28-29 Model A Roadster irons.
