Hello Josef. The late 100-Six/ early 3000 top bows can be easily
distinguished from the BT 7 bows.
The earlier bows are made of 16mm (5/8") diam. tubing and have cranked, or
bent main "legs" with pegs protruding from the bottom that plug into the
smaller diameter hardtop sockets.
The much sturdier bows introduced into the BT 7 run have shorter, larger diam.
(20mm-13/16") main "legs" without pegs, that fit into the larger diameter
sockets originally just reserved for the tonneau cover bow.
I have enclosed pictures of the two types side by side, which will of course
be stripped off for the posting on the "autox" board. (Yahoo Groups allow
picture attachments- very handy for tech questions- and also put your post
up much quicker- seconds to minutes later as opposed to parts of an hour).
Best regards Peter
Peter
