Re: Mystery Roadster top irons AGAIN!
Thanks.
There is no casting number. Hope someone else can come up with a hint. I think the "clue" is in the pivot point on the rear bow.
I'm also looking on AACA's sight.
Thanks.

Re: Mystery Roadster top irons AGAIN!
No casting number on the part ... therefore we are ruling out '32.
Thanks for the heads up. I have posted on AACA in hope someone will give me a clue card.
Thanks.
