Wanted for '40 convertible 110-120

[Restorer32]

All the latch hardware that attaches to the front header bow to replace parts lost by a previous "restorer". If nothing else maybe the loan of an original set of hardware so we can reproduce the missing pieces. We are missing everything that attaches to the header. The rest of the top assembly is intact.

I might have them for you. Dave Mitchell packard12s@hotmail.com

Would either or both of you e-mail pics and price to PennDutchRestore@aol.com. This might be an easier problem to solve than I expected. Thanks!

Dug into the conv.hardware box, as shown. I don't have a '40 in the garage, so we will need further assistance to confirm what you need.  I believe the 40 was the first year for the hidden latches?, The top corners of the cowl takes the casting with the pins, as well as the center casting with the pin, as opposed to the earlier style that uses the latch with the hoop?  I believe the chromed arms at the top may be associated with the inner workings?  The handle looks very much like a 40-42 junior exterior handle, but has a female recess to receive the shaft from the header bow linkage?

 

As you can see, I have a set chromed, as well as some castings and castings for patterns...
