Cabriolet 68B top iron screw length

[160B]

I am looking for the correct length for the 1/4 20 TPI screw that holds the front header to the top iron. There are three screws on each side.



thanks

Thanks quickchange, mine have been replaced and I was hoping to get a length for an original screw.

Since I did not get a response, I am going to answer my own question.

This started based on a comment from John Hash when he saw my Cabriolet. He could see the top material was being pushed up from the screws being too long. I reached in between the top material and top header and could feel the thread protrusion.

I removed the screws and they were 1 1/4 in long. I ground the screws down to a length of 1 1/8 reinstalled them. I then reached in between the top material and top header and found that the thread protrusion was now eliminated.


I hope this helps other Cabriolet owners avoid this minor problem.
