Re: 31 Standard Roadster Front Bow
Distance between front irons is 37". Add three or four more inches for insertion into the front top iron. Held in with two rivets on each side. Wood dimensions are 1 1/2" by 3/4" thick. Overhang is about 3 and a half inches. Front bow is a straight piece of wood. Easy to make yourself. Overhang is determined by the bracket and set screw that hooks on to the windshield post. If you don't have them, they can be ordered from vendors. Bows are wrapped with muslin cloth to match the top color. Black is correct. White canvass in NOT correct. One caveat here is that this particular standard roadster was restored in 1957, so this may or may not be exactly correct.
If you could post photos of what you have, it would help us help you. There are people here with better cars than mine who will know for sure.
