‘26 Touring Top Bows

Post by Carl » Thu Mar 30, 2023 3:02 pm

On my ‘26 Touring the top bows ,that fit into the irons , have a “tenon” cut on them …
Does anyone have the length ,between tenons on all four bows ..I’m most concerned about the #1 & #4 bows …
The ones on them right now ,,look original ….But are different than the ones in the kit I got with the car …
They are from the Gentleman that produced them in Northern Calif……
Thanks in advance …Carl…

Determine the length of the #1 bow by using the windshield stantion clamps to set the correct length. You can use the #1 bow length for all the other bow lengths. When the top is folded all the bows should line up on the saddle.

Are the Top Bows different on the '26 than on the '27?
The length between the first and second are different. It seems that the last is a little shorter than the third.
