Default [HELP] Top Irons for a 28/29 Special Coupe ???

Does anyone know the proper length for the "top irons" on a 28/29 Special Coupe? These are the irons that run from the windshield post brackets to the door posts. Mine are missing and my body is in pieces at the moment so I have no way to measure what the length should be.

Thanks!!!

If you are referring to the 2 pieces (left and right) that screws to the wood above the door (like piece in your picture shows), these are available from most parts suppliers. I have a pair of originals for my 28 special coupe I can measure if you need the length. Let me know.

So that's their official name then... thanks



What's the best Model A body restoration book with detailed blueprints or diagrams or ??? that I can get my hands on. My body is one of those piece by piece deals.
