'64 1500 Convertible Top Frame
Restoring a 1500... The convertable top frame is MIA.
Looking at the parts manual, I'm trying to figure not only what to order, but also how it actaully attaches to the widshield frame...
Does anyone have a photo of the 1500 top latched down (from inside)?

Hi Chris,
I have a spare frame and bow. I don't have any spare side bars though.

Looking good carcursed. My front bow and top is super raggedy. I need new canvas and refurb the wood front bow.

So it IS a wood front bow.... dang. That sounds like it'll be one of my "hard to find" pieces.
Thank you so much for the photos! It's more than helpful.

Forgive me, but how is the bow attached to the "nipples" on top of the windshield frame?car_cursed wrote: ↑Mon Apr 09, 2018 6:16 pm Here you are, let me know if you need closer up or different angle. Just started it up for the season today.
Do they rest between the frame and the latch that are behind the "circles?" And tightened using those "circles?" (Circles= Part# 60-22)
Looks like a lot of parts I don't have...
Just be happy, and have fun!

The round circles are thumb screws that tighten down on three nubs that are on the top of the windshield frame:
