Good morning Douglas,
I just went downstairs and measured the chrome strips on my 2-bow side
curtains (I'm quite sure that mine are re-chromed originals--I don't
remember buying repros from Moss, but it's been 28 years....)
>From back to front, measurements are: 8", 8 3/4", 8 3/4", and 9 1/2".
I'd say that you've been sent the wrong strip set. Anybody out there with
3-bow curtains who can provide measurements for comparison to make certain?
Would the cost of altering & re-chroming the 8 offending strips be more than
the cost of shipping the lot back to Moss?
Regards,
Sarah Carr
