This
68-70 top frame is in good shape compared to most in use
today. Most; due to improper erection of the top and
other reasons; have a collapsed front bow. Pic A shows a
NICE bow surface, no ever-present dent or ripples
indicating imminent collapse. Only the first trace of
fatigue is seen (Pic F); a tiny crack; and only seen
after popping off trim; bow feels structurally sound. Get
it welded and away you go. When the bows get much worse;
it is recommended you have them cut open and a brace
installed. Typical surface rust on rear bows (Pic D). Top
frame INCLUDES the three top latches; including the
spacer whose absence also serves to damage the front bow.
The latches will need to be replated to look nice (Pic
E). The front bow has some surface rust on the ends; this
is NOTHING compared to what most have. This is not a
structural issue. Joints all move as they should.
