I don't Even know where the hydraulic Cylinders are bolted to the irons, need a picture for that. Also need measurements for the arms I Will be making from scratch out of a piece of metal since I don't have other options. Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks a lot Dave, those are real Nice and helpful pictures, I was wondering if it is not to much to ask if You could get measurements from Bolt to Bolt for these parts I need to make

[falomara]

These highlighted parts are the ones I need to get measurements from Bolt to Bolt. Probably also need angle between them . I know I AM bothering too much but I desperately need that info to finish My 3 year project. Thanks to everyone who took their time to read and SEE how they could help.

Unfortunately I cant give you patterns or angles on these as the car is now complete and no access to the main pivot bar.
The centre to centre measurements I have from when I had them apart.
1. 360 mm
2. 462 mm
3. 317mm

The most difficult part of restoring a convertible top is finding the special bolts that join the sections. They are eccentric, and the top can't be adjusted to fit without them. When I restored my '47, we had to make them in a machine shop, no supplier had them using the
diagrams in the 1944-1952 body parts manual. It is available from C&G (800) 266-0470. Ask for V-44 $52. It is essential to understand the parts for your car.

I know I AM bothering too much but was wondering if You could send me a template of the parts highlighted un red(#1)50330. I tried making calculations from the pictures but nothing good came out. There is a business in Hialeah, Fl that can send it to me in Cuba . You send tobthem by mail . If necessary I can someone un Fl pay You for the service and for mailing expenses. I honestly need that and I Will forever appreciate ir. My email: [email protected]
