dl456 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) I need a set of top bow clamps for a 4 bow top. Approx. 7-7/8'' inside dimension. These would have to be the type that clamps on a stud protruding from the body. I would gladly purchase or trade a smaller set if you need them.Also need 3 individual rear windows for the rear of a touring top. Judging from the original top fabric these were oval but came to a point on each end. Sorry don't have any pictures as I am missing these parts.The car is a 1917 Mitchell 7 pass.Many thanksDennis Edited June 11, 2012 by Dennis Long (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl456 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks John,What I am looking for is the clamp that the top bows lay in when in the downposition.These clamps mount to the rear of the body on a 5/8'' stud. Probably similar to your Buick.Many thanks,Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl456 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 John, Thanks for the link but the rests with the leather straps are actually earlier than I need.Jay,Those are what I am looking for. Are they excess to your needs? If you would like to sell them, could you give me an inside dimension and the size of the hole where the stud mounts?Many thanks,Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot these pictures several years ago when someone else was looking for some. I have to find them in the garage and measure them.After I measure them if they will work, you can make me an offer.
