OEM soft top box question (1 Viewer)

[Ezra]

I picked up a soft top bow set that was mostly complete with the exception of the horizontal bars. So I ordered just the two bars from an eBay vendor, but I believe his aftermarket setup is a bit different from oem, specifically I believe the Mounting point that the center roof bow connects to is 90degrees off. Can anyone verify this?

Thanks

Based on this diagram, you are correct. I have aftermarket bows and they look like the ones in your photos.

Very helpful. If anyone has a photo that would be appreciated. Need to reword these before powder coating, and would love to see where the originals are positioned.

Your bow is an early bow as compared to the diagram which is a later bow

My top bow is quite different:

Your bows are miss matched ... they are correct for different years

That is a later center bow you have

However you mod it ... all three bows are at the same height

Yeah, I am planning on modifying the horizontal bows. I guess I should just attach everything to make sure it is spaced correctly.
