1936 3 window head liner bows

[walts36]

I want to change the head liner in my 35 3w to 36, I have the long metal bows but need some pictures and measurements where they mount? All of the original 35 tack strips are gone. Thanks in advance for any help. Walt

I will send you some of my 35 3W when I get off work.

These are the top bows in Heard's '36 3-w coupe. DD

Here are pics of my 35 3W bows. Funny I only have three.
First bow measures 45 1/2 inches second bow 50 inches third bow 45 inches.
First bow is 6 inches back from the front tack strip second bow is 13 1/2 inches back from that one and third bow is 16 inches back from the second one. I measured bow entire length tip to tip( not across opening).

Here's a pic I took of the metal bows on my '36 3W when I was replacing the top. I made a 2nd set of bows for one side (the other side is a mirror image), but they're in storage right now, waiting for my new shop to get built, so it'll be a month or so before I can find them.
