Crusinforty- I went through this with my 47 convertible top irons. I made drawings of the irons, bolts, washers as I took the irons apart. This was helpful in reassembling the irons. If you still need this info I can scan my notes and send to you. I was able to get most of the replacement bolts, washers, etc. from Totally Stainless (Doc Hammett) Gettysburg, PA, Ph# 717-677-8811. Good guy to deal with.

I noticed this topic is a few years old, but I too am looking for the assembly diagram for a 1946 Convertible top as well as the adjustment procedures. If anyone has that information I would greatly appreciate it if you could scan it and email it to me, or point me in the right direction as to where to find it. Thanks! jwilliams@titancc.net

There is a good illustration of the top irons in the 1944-1952 body parts catalog page 304, Order a copy from C&G as V-44, $52. You will need it. Their order number is 800/266-0470. When I restored my '47 convertible the top was in parts, and without the manual you will likely never get it together so it will operate properly. Some of the "bolts" are special with eccentric shafts. We operate a machine shop, so we made many of them, a tricky job. Adjustment is very time consuming, as any adjustment changes the others.

The wooden front top header has a rubber seal tacked on it's forward edge that fits tight against the metal windshield top. The metal windshield top has lip on it's rear edge that a rubber seal is slipped over and held at the ends with a steel horseshoe clip. The wood bow presses against this seal. Bill Large
