Does anyone know the measurement from the center of floor up to the center top edge of the original front soft top bow? (The one behind the driver and passenger seats)

Thanks

G'day Dave,

I asked a very similar question myself a few weeks ago and got some great responses - if you go to page 2 of this CJ-3B Posts section you will see it under "Original Soft Top Bows" I think.

I'd post a link but haven't figured that out yet. It won't be too hard to spot and it might be a good read to get you started.

Good luck, regards

Dave,
Here's the link for the thread on the top bows. The info over on the CJ2A Forum is incredibly detailed.

http://z4.invisionfree.com/CJ3B_Bulletin_B...?showtopic=4085

Lawrence thankfully posted some images of what a 3B version would look like. I personally think the bows themselves are the same dimensionally, but the spacer rods are different.


FYI posting a link: Open the link. Go up to the window where the address is, i.e. http:/...... put your cursor on the text and right click (turns blue) and copy. This is just like copying any other text string you want. In your post, right click and paste.
