Default Come on.....

Who has a set of original bows that can be measured.

The width is dictated by the size of the box.....

The height once fitted into the box brackets......

The first bend should be at about 85 degrees so the top section will be partly bowed upwards when fitted to the box.... that should keep the tarp slightly higher in the center so it will not sag with water.....

I think the approach by Chris of doing them in two pieces then cutting to proper width has a lot of value..... a simple inside dowel at the overhead joint with decent Mig welding would solve the problem.

Are the bows interchangeable between ealry 2B1 and later 2C1 boxes.... as I am interested in the cab 11 box .......

I bow to the experts.

Bob
