Roadster / Convertible "D" top frames?? Similiar?

[Bob Slayden]

I guess I don’t need one after all. Thanks for clarifying this. Mine still needs tweaking though as the “arms” above the windows don’t close fully straight when the top is up leaving them as a slight “v” with the right worse (@176º) than the left (@ 174º). Anyone know what to adjust to fix this?

Thanks,

Bob Slayden

Of the 4 roadster top bows in my possession, 3 don't have the link, one does.

1. For a 62, it does not have the link and most assuredly came on the car.

2.For a 61 one owner, it does not have the link and it came with the car as delivered to the owner.

3. For a 60 Drauz that has the original interior colored trim (tan) on the header, is the only one with the extra link. (Both D bows have the extra link)

4. Of unknown history, but doesn't have the link.

Both known top bows for D'leteren seem to be identical but I would have to spend some time checking them further. However, they have other obvious design differences with some minor detail differences when compared to the other roadster and D bows.

If anyone has any other information I would like to hear it...
