Looking for informaqion for a 1914 roadster top instulation

Post by Craig E. Luton » Fri Jun 13, 2025 5:06 pm

Can anyone tell me how far apart the footman loops are on the rear bow for a 1914 roadster?

Thank you for your input.

I can surely measure our '14 Touring - it might be equivalent ?

These may help.

The 1912 runabout footman loops are 18 7/8" spaced from centerline of the top.

And this is the later 1920-1921 with footman loops 19" from centerline of top.

My "14 Touring is approximately 48" on centers - so are the L irons coming out of the body.
