I looked in search, I always ask the wrong questions. I'm opening the doors on my 'glass body '29 A, and I need to know how far back from the door opening the tabs for the top are. I can make the tabs from scratch and weld them to the 1" sq. that I'm using for support, but I want to make sure that the tabs are in the right place. Part of me says that I'll never run a top, and part of me realizes that these cars are never finished, get changed a lot in their lifetimes,and it would be a****** to put that tab in after the fact. I'm guessing that a piece of 1 1/2" x1/8" strap is about right, but I'd like to know how high, and how far back from the doors. Thanks guys.
I measured my quarter panel it is back 3 1/4 to center 1 in wide 1 1/2 high has 3/8 square hole 1 in to center from bottom edge and is 1 in in from outside edge this is stock steel panel hope that helps Ken
Thanks a million, Ken! That's exactly what I needed! Don't know that I'll use a top, but the brackets will be there if I do. Thanks again, Mike
