Does anyone know anyone that has the rear bow of the convertible top? Mine is broken and I don't want to take the time to make it myself>

A couple years ago, I restored my '25 Touring. Someone had made it a pickup. I found the bows I needed at Witmer Coach Shop in New Holland, Pa. They specialize in buggy parts and wheel repair. They sell bent wood top bows in sizes from 38 inches to 58 inches. They sell them by the each or in bundles of 6 or twelve. I bought the 6 bundle at 55 inches. Did the shaping myself. They turned out nice. Bows were not expensive but the shipping to Montana was $$$. Oversize and distance cost me, but it was worth it. Phone # I have is 717-656-3411. Hope this works for you.

Can you send me pictures of the convertible top hardware? Mine has just the 2 knobs on each side of the body. Don't have any idea what I'm looking for, so tough to buy bits and pieces. Thanks. Eric in Reno, NV At: eericcf@netzero.net
