NEED HELP FINDING BOWS

Post by manda_fb »

Hi everyone,

I gotta FB ute i'm restoring and i'm chasing the roof bows.

Does anyone have them or even one that i can get my hands on or could someone help point me in the direction of where i could go to maybe get my hands on them?

Im in darwin and there is almost nothing for old cars here. However i'm headin to melb in a few weeks so plan on visiting a few wreckers.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
Manda

The bows are different shape & size because of the roof profile but if you get your hands on some from a sedan they should fit providing you get the front 3 bows, they are spot painted for easy ID & the bow colours you need are - from front to rear
1. Green
2. Blue
3. Plain
The only reason for time is so everything dosen't happen at once.

hey manda if your leed doesnt come good you could consider making them from scratch (not that difficult) i had to make mine for the ute as the roof shape was hand formed which in turn changed the shape of the head lining :)
