Does anyone have original top wood bows , #2 and # 4 , that they would consider making patterns of so I could make
new bows for my car ?
Thanks
Dan
Tim I have looked in the resource section , but those two prints are not there . At least I was unable to find them .
Hi Dan
I have the original timber bows from my car, the angles and the shapes of these two bows are quite complex and I wouldn't like to try and measure them in fear of giving you the wrong measurements.
I gave these bows #2 and #4 to the Australian Hood Iron company to make new timber bows and boy did they do a great job. I have the car finished now with a LeBarron Bonney top installed and it fitted just fine. Bill Berger is here at my home right now so if in doubt just ask Bill, he will have plenty of photo's of my car as he is doing an article on A400's in Australia for the next A400 news letter.
I rang Richard Walton from Australian Hood Irons yesterday to ask whether he would be interested in making another set for you and he said yes he would, in fact I asked whether he would mind being on the hard to find parts list on this website to supply those bows and he said yes to that as well. So if Bill Edstrom reads this email maybe he could contact him as well. Richards contact details are as follows.
