Re: 23 top irons and bows
23-25 are the same. 23 is the first year for the one man top. (US production)
The windshield/stands are slanted back. The top clamps to the top of these W/S stands.
26-7 irons have a curve to the body attaching pivot point.
All 3 bows are wood between the formed sheet metal side bows.
Your top will look like the "25 barn find"
