Your set seems really screwy.
Its too complicated for a roadster.
It most like a 27 touring, except its missing a bow? & the body attach point bow should be curved.

They look fine to me for a 23-25 Roadster.speedytinc wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 3:44 pmYour set seems really screwy.

I have a 26 Roadster but it has earlier bows, most likely 25. They fit fine and the top works, however, it is more straight in back than it would be with the correct bows. See picture

Bob like I posted in the classifieds. If you look you’ll see the thin supports that strengthens the total assembly as in a set of sockets for a touring. Maybe someone made those or it’s for another style car. The 23-25 roadster sockets are a simple affair. 3 sockets on each side, no metal webbing between the sockets. Straight & clean. Below are pictures of the sockets mounted on the tub of a 1923-5 roadster or cut off roadster can’t tell for sure. I believe these are from the build Mark Strange was doing. Hope you don’t mind me using them Mark. Best John
