1914 touring top bows
Can someone please provide the measurement of the front top bow from the locking pin at the bottom of the iron to the top of the wood bow? Thank you!

Allen, I believe this is what you requested. It’s 25” from pin to beginning of bow. Tim

Re: 1914 touring top bows
Yes Tim. That’s exactly what I was looking for.
And how many more inches to the top edge of the bow itself? From you photo, it looks like the top edge of the bow is about 34” or 35” as measured from the pin. Is that correct?
Thank you so much Tim.

Re: 1914 touring top bows
What about the heights of the two vertical Sockets (-the ones attached to the Top Support brackets) to the top of the Wood Bow? I have seen the picture floating around of the 1915 and newer Top measurements, but is the height on the 1914 the same as the 1915 & newer?
(There is nothing worse than a top that has the Bows too low in the sockets. It doesn't look right, and the top rubs your head!

Re: 1914 touring top bows
Thanks Dan. Now here is where things are confusing to me. Tim above mentioned his #1 Top Socket was 25" in overall length. My new reproduction #1 Socket is 26" overall. (My 1915 Socket is 25"). Tim shows a measurement for the #1 Socket & Bow at a total length of 36". According to Dan's post, the amount of the bow protruding should be 6¼" ...which according to my math makes the total length of the #1 Socket & Bow assembly to be 32".
I have made a drawing based on dimensions from a new set of Mel Draper sockets. Maybe some 1913/14 Touring Owners can compare my drawing to their original sockets to verify the lengths are correct. If someone has the ability to check overall lengths of bows, then that would be a bonus. If we need to make revisions to this drawing, I will do so where someone can reference these in the future.
