Roadster Top Irons Bows help!
Hey. I purchased a 30’ Model A Delux roadster and found some top irons stashed in the rumble seat area. I have done a lot of searching but cannot seem to identify these pieces. Some references I check show these might me Model T some Model A. Also, the last picture is of a local set for sale but are labeled as 28/29, are they 28/29 and can they be adapted to my 30?
Just need to clear this up so I can start the hunt for the correct parts Thanks!! https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds |

Looks like a standard roadster to me. Speedway has the dimensions for the standard and deluxe windscreen frame. Is that a Canadian roadster? Might have the cast brass type Ford badge if it is.
Ford of Canada owned our factory. |

Re: Roadster Top Irons Bows help!
Most of the parts you show in your photos are Model T Touring top irons. Your last photo has promise, but is different from 28-9 top irons that I have seen, including where it mounts to the windshield posts and are there mounting holes at the base of the main bow? If it's for sale locally, can you try it on for size on you roadster?

Do a search of Macs under Model A
"Model A Ford Top Iron and Wood Kit Roadster" It will show 28-28 roadster and 30-31 standard. Th 30 deluxe ones look like cheap strap steel. |

thanks for the replies yes, its a Canadian roadster do you mean the bows are standard or the car is not a deluxe? (has dual spare tires, rumble seat, chrome/stainless windshield) The first two pictures show bows/irons of what i think are model A: according to macs they are similar yet the wood does not bend with the metal and are not inserted as far) -probably just easier for a repop version so maybe i just need the iron extensions to the windshield? |

Re: Roadster Top Irons Bows help!
The windshield looks high like a standard. We didn't get a proper deluxe here, but the screen should be shorter and so the bows should be lower and are made differently.
The first two photos do look like Model A but could be 28-29 which are a different shape. Could also be pickup I guess. |
