Top bow fit info for a 68A or B, measurement help needed
 

I am trying to fit the top wood on my late '29 cabriolet. Some things are not matching as they should.

I need to know the inside or outside width of the vertical top bow (B pillar) at about 14-1/2" up from the dress plate. The reproduction bow I have appears to be an inch too wide. My 'windows up' outside width at the upper back corner is 49-5/8"

Any measurements would be appreciated; Thanks.

Would a 68C help any ?

Thanks, but I think the C was too different.

The 68A and the 68B bodies are the same from the cowl back .The 68C is different .I have an original unrestored 68B .Not really clear on what measurements you need email me on [email protected] with some pics and I can send you pics and measurements from my car .

I have 8X11 photocopies of the blue prints of the top bows for a 68A and B. I got these emailed to me from another Cabriolet owner a few months ago. I would be happy to forward that email to you. The dimensions are very small and hard to read but they are there. I have made my B pillar bow from these prints. Send a personal message.
