Softop bow size

[nitor]

Can someone give me the length for the front and rear bows for a whitco softop?



This is what the bows connect to on each side of the tub.

Nitor, From what i can tell from my WHITCO form 1143b, front bow 28"-28.5" rear bow 102 1/4"-102 3/4" with extension of 7 3/8" This is for a CJ7 . And you are right on the bow pivot bracket

bladeburner - thanks for the reply. Would it be possible for you to give me a measurement of the height of the bows? From top to bottom? I believe the height of the front bow is around 30 inches and the back is about 40 inches. I'm not sure, these are guesses. I measured a bow on a friends Bestop Supertop, but the bows are different and I believe the pivot bracket is in a different place. Thanks for your help.

bladeburner - can I get a copy of that WHITCO form 1143b? Is it the installation instructions?

bladeburner - from my calculations from your post, the front from top to bottom is 28.5" and the back is approximately 30.5". I had a Bestop on a previous Jeep and it had the same setup. Mine didn't have extensions on the bow.

I was wrong on the rear bow, it is about 30". The deminsions I gave you of 102" is from one end around to the other end. My rag top was purchased in 1985, it is a AMC top, with snaps on the side. But my rear bow has a extension of 7 3/8" This top was made by Whitco. I don't know if this helps.
