Hi - I am installing new top irons and bows on a 1914 roadster but have no pattern to follow. There is a lot of info on the mftca site but nothing specific to
a 1914 roadster. What I need to know is the distance from the top (or bottom) of the wood bows to the pivot points of the three top irons. I found out that the front bow extends about 3" forward of the windshield and the rear of the rear bow extends 1" to 1.5" to the rear of the body. What is the location of the centre bow relative to the other bows? Thanks, A. Dinsmore
