'31 Roadster top help
 

My new top kit came without snaps , and I also have a new windshield without snaps. Question is, what is the proper placement of the snaps.
Do they go on top or in front on the top tube? I was told there are 6 , so what would be the proper spacing?
Thanks
Lee

Lee,my roadster is in Michigan. However, LadySlipper A's has a member in Austin,MN with a DeLuxe '30 Roadster. If the windschield spacing is the same on a '30 Standard Roadster there is one just a few miles from you. Give me a call I'm in the Rochester phone book. You know my name I can give you names of the other two. Ted W

I bought my top (30 Deluxe)from LB. It came with the snaps in place. I had to install the studs on the windhield frame. They are installed on the front of the frame. With these measurements the snaps line up as they should. All measurements indicated use the outside of the Left (driver) side of the round windshield frame as a reference point.
Snap #1 1 3/4"
Snap #2 11 1/4"
Snap #3 13 1/2"
Snap #4 23"
Snap #5 33 3/4"
Snap #6 42 3/4"
Hope this helps.

Thanks to all. I now have enough information to set my snaps when they arrive.
