1936 ford roadster dimension needed please!
Hey guys i'm so close to wrapping up this 36 restoration, trying to fit the top irons now. I need the dimension from center of windshield post stud to center of windshield post stud, basically where the top sits over. Can anyone give me that measurement so i can see if this one is in the ballpark. Im getting about 46-3/8" but the wood header fits pretty tight, hard to get back on once you take it off. Need to figure out whats going on
almost there |

Re: 1936 ford roadster dimension needed please!
that is a really nice example of a 36 roadster, love the colour. I could get the information for you tomorrow if no on else chimes in before then.
it was bothering me so I went out to the garage and measured mine - its bang on 46 3/8 between the centres of the studs. Last edited by weemark; 07-26-2017 at 04:35 PM. |

in my wood header it has kind of round inserts fixed into the header which go over the windshield post tops, I will check tomorrow if the header is machined for any particular size, I can take a picture of it but it really will be tomorrow before I do that.
