DoubleG Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Can anyone tell me what to use to attach the top bows to the iron brackets?Screws or nails? Seems like it should be screws but I've seen nails used on some cars. Which would be correct? This is for a 24 DB touring.Thanks for the help.

Guest 1930 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Id guess screws, that is what I have seen on DA model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 DoubleG, I suggest you wait for an answer from someone with a '24 to answer you. I have a '15 and a '16, both touring cars, in my garage and they both have original top bows attached with nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleG Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Want to get this thing put back together by the weekend. Sure could use some helpful advice from any 24, 25, or 26 touring owners. A photo would be awesome! Nails or screws?Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72caddy Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I have the remnants of one wood bow in my top iron that is clearly nailed. Looks like the old cut nails which makes sense - you would want the side curtains to hang flat against the metal and not rub on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
