42dodgeguy Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Guys: recently had a new top installed on my 42 Dodge convert, and the guy that put it on didn't put the snaps on that go around the back. What I have is 3 on each side located 6 1/4 inches apart. I'm wondering if anyone has a Dodge convert between 40 and 48 and would be willing to measure the snap to snap locations around and let me know what they are? I've had some offers from Chrysler guys, but unfortunately the spacing is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42dodgeguy Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Guys: Thanks to the 107 of you who were interested enough to look at my post. I still, though don't have any replies or measurements. Hoping now that winter's gone in most places that someone might be willing to take tape measure in hand? A million thanks to anyone that will.

30DodgePanel Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 2 of those views are mine but I don't own a 42.... I'm sure a 40-48 owner will come along to help soon, just have to be patient. My guess is none of the views are from 40-48 owners to this point. Good luck, I'm sure someone will help when they see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Do you have the boot that is for the car? That would give you the spacing measurement. I know I'm being Captain Obvious, so you probably don't have a boot or you would have thought of that. Any measurement you get will be questionable, unless someone has an original car with an original top. If a trimmer (myself included) is putting on a new top, it's difficult to go back after putting on the wire-on and find the exact hole location for snaps, unless you think to put a piece of tape on the body and mark where they are before hand....

42dodgeguy Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Negative on the boot deal. I have an old Chrysler boot, but the spacing is all different. Comes to me though, that someone out there might have a boot, and the measurements might be easier to get from the boot than from the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Maybe you can scale it if you can find a period photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
