i am trying to locate the dimensions for the top bows for a 68C Cabroilet. I need the distance between the bolt bosses where the top irons attach to the main hoop. If there is any other way to measure the accuracy of the main top bow I would appreciate it. My main top bow is homemade and I am...

Stew, Thanks so much. That picture answers my big question!

Stew, A picture of the underside of the top where it lays on the top of the windshield header would also be helpful. Kevin, my car has been "fixed" because I have a row of nuts in that white channel in your second picture. I guess I'm going to have to come up with some sort of seal to cover...

That row of nuts is what holds the hinge to the windshield frame. They may not be right, but that's what's there. Is that channel supposed to have a seal there? Or does something else cover the nuts? Possibly the nuts were supposed to be Dnuts and not protrude into the channel, then a strip...

What does the top of the windshield frame where the top header fastens down to look like? Mine has a row of nuts in a small channel exposed when the top is down. Is there supposed to be something covering all of this? Also, anyone reproducing the landou spacers for a 68C?

Ray, I contacted Berts and they only have spacers for 68A+B. Said they could make a pair for a 68C if they had one to copy. So I guess I'm still looking.

Anyone know where I could pick up a pair of landau spacers for a 68C. The venders sell spacers for other cars but not for a 68c.

What about running a separate ground wire to each light and bolting it to the frame.

how do you get good grounds to the head lights and tail lights?

I have helped on the receiving end of several of Jim's transports to the MTFCA Museum and can say you won't find a better, more conscientious person to work with. Jerry K

Keven, that is exactly what I have, except I don't have any of the pieces. I need to know what the screw, nut and plunger look like. Any pics would be very helpful.

I'm not talking about the Landeau irons on the outside of the top. I think I have them figured out. The top irons that stretch under the top from the front to behind the top of the seat are what I need help on. There is some sort of latch where they bend in the middle when you put the top...

I'm looking for a drawing or picture of the latching mechanism that is in the middle of the top irons on a folding top for a cabriolet or roadster. Mine has a 1/4 inch oblong slot that is supposed to have something inside to keep the irons straight when the top is up. I have nothing there and...

My light switch turns whenever I turn the steering wheel. What's needed to keep it from turning?

We cut the filter apart every time we change oil in my plane. So far all I've found is small carbon particles. If any kind of metal is found then I've got a big problem.
