Re: Doing a roadster top
I always place the footman loops in line with the seam on the top. Place the footman loops on the surface of the bow which faces the floor of the car, not on the front surface. John

Re: Doing a roadster top
Thank you for a reply, I need to attach the top to the windshield, it uses leather straps to a loop at the hinge. The bows have to be set before I'll get to any seams in the top material. the loops probably go all the way to the metal of the socket

Re: Doing a roadster top
Do you have the curved irons? If you do then yes, the screws would go through the iron into the wood.

Straight irons and curved wood bows.

Re: Doing a roadster top
Thanks, that is what I will do. Once I get the bows set I will finesse things.
