Middle Top Bow bracket & Footman Loops

[Birddog7]

Need assistance in locating middle top bow bracket for my 3A. I think they are suppose to be 28 1/2 inches from the dash or 3 1/2 or 3 1/4 inches from the wheel housing edge. Also the bracket needs to tilt back 3 degrees.I think I have the footman loops figured out except for the ones behind the seats for the half top. I copied the CJ2A page footman loop drawing. They should be the same around the edge of the tub.
Thanks

Bump, does anybody have these measurement for the middle top bow brackets. Also any pic somebody would have of the brackets that run down below the window frame which hold the door frame I believe. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Birddog,
Here is a photo of the lower door channel.� It's the best one I could find.�

I can take the measurements of the top bow brackets when I get home tonight.

Thanks Athawk11, I found the brackets at Walcks that are shown in your pic. Just need to figure out where everything goes.
Did you ever get the wife's Willys painted?

My middle top bow brackets, the square ones on the top of the wheel house, are 39 1/2" from the dash and 3 1/4" from the front edge of the wheel house. The dash measurement is to the top of the bracket, while the wheelhouse measurement is to the base of the bracket. The one on the passenger side was more like 39 5/8" from the dash. One of them was loose and i re-installed it, probably the passenger side. I wouldn't take these numbers as absolute as i did a lot of panel replacement..but the dash is original!

Hi Birddog,
My measurements are very close to Randy's.� 39 1/2" on driver side, 39 1/4" on passenger side.� Funny thing is, I got 3 1/4" from the front of the wheel house to the base of the bracket on both driver and passenger side.� I did have to weld one of them back on, but I don't remember which.� �They both angle slightly toward the rear.� Perhaps one angles a bit more than the other.

The painting is on hold while the chassis gets fixed up, but it will be that beautiful Florentine Yellow.� Thanks again.

Looking through my notes I found this from (probably) an earlier posting. Measurements from Beachwood Canvas Works that might help . . .

AZJeepNut, Thats what I needed a visual aid for this frozen mine. Thanks much for finding this and posting.
Warm is when you can still have feeling in your hands and feet with your gloves and boots on.

That is excellent....so based on the diagram the bracket on my passenger side is too far back by 1/8"... the driver side is correct...
