This weekend I will be towing my Phaeton 60 miles at 60 mph in an open trailer. Should I have the top up or down, boot on or off, windshield on or off? Thanks for the help, James

I made a spacer out of sheet metal to move the metal backrest back 2 inches. The backrest is bolted to the shoulder section near the hinges for the back doors. I also had the springs for the backrest made 1 inch shorter than stock. I moved the seat riser back 2 inches. I am 6'1" and I am...

I have repo top irons. One of the bows rests on the back body panel of the car ( in the center ). I don't think that is correct.

Do any of the top bows rest on the top edge of the rear panel? Do they all go down behind the rear panel without touching it? Merry Christmas everyone James

John Thanks for the ideas. I think I will use Mike's measurements to get close and then fine tune with the fabric top as you suggested. Thanks again, James Lambert

Mike The top irons and bows make more sense now. I never noticed the curve in the bow above the drivers head. I bought a box of top bows and irons with no instructions. I bought a basket case car, so I have had a big jig saw puzzle. Thank you so much for your help. James Lambert

Mike My 28 is the same color as yours. If you would measure the between the second, third and forth bows just above the flat iron links I would appreciate it very much. Thanks, James

The above should read TOP measurements needed. Sorry I have fat fingers. James Lambert

I have a new set of repo top irons and bows. I need to know the width of the irons at the top, so when I get the top fabric it will fit. I can vary the width by inserting the bows more or less. Also the bow above the drivers head has an offset. Does the long side go up or down? Any help...

Iverson I thought of another question. The bow that goes over the driver head is wider on one side. Does the wide side go on the top or bottom? James

Iveson Is it possible to measure from bow to bow inside the bows just above the flat iron links? Thanks, James

Jim I purchased these top irons from LeBaron Bonny. I called them today with questions about the width of the top irons. They were unable to answer my questions.. It seems that a long time employee, Doug retired a couple of years ago. They lost a wealth of knowledge when he left. I have not...

WARNING! Do not vacuum gasoline fumes with a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum could explode or catch fire.

While driving my 30 Coupe I heard a loud thud from under the floor board. It will no longer go into overdrive or back up. I am looking for someone in the south to repair my OD unit. I would like to find someone a short distance away to keep shipping cost down. I live in Louisiana. Thanks...
