30-31 Roof Rib Wood
I purchased a partially complete car that came with 4 wood rood ribs. It has one roof rib (38” x 1 ¼”) (picture #1 and #3) is fairly flat and three others (42” x ¾”) (picture #2 and #4) that are narrower and too longfor the car have a slight bow. I assume the three longer ones are incorrect, but the 38" piece seem to fit good.
Most of the catalog show two different part numbers for roof ribs and I think three are the same and the forth is different. Brattons 30-31 5 WINDOW COUPE WIDE ROOF RIB Part #: 39112 $27.75 /ea 30-31 5 WINDOW COUPE TOP BOW Part #: 39111 $22.00 /ea Does any one know which rail I have before I go buy three others? Can anyone tell me what the longer rails are to? Thanks - Arty |

30 minutes with a band saw and a forstner bit and you will save the cost of new wood.

Re: 30-31 Roof Rib Wood
There is supposed to be a slight bow in the roof. The flat one may be the 1st rib and then the bow takes over on the other? But I agree with Desotoguy.

I just did mine and found that all the bows are the same length and all have the same profile that matches the header and the rear most piece.
