Re: WTB: 1912 top bow iron clamps?????
They are called saddle clamps by some or top clamps most have a number on the back and they are left and right beware like my 1919 dodge I got a pair that fit but held the top up really high before find the correct ones. They are pretty specific to car and body style

Re: WTB: 1912 top bow iron clamps?????
What's the purpose of those clamps? I have a Torpedo also and and have never used any clamps other that the leather hold down strap. My bows have a socket and pin that nest together when folded down. Would sure be nice to have something to keep the window from resting on top of the gas cap and getting all marred up though!

Re: WTB: 1912 top bow iron clamps?????
A torpedo roadster will require clamps with just three curved sections to support the bows. The more common type for tourers have four. The other variable is the height of the mounting point for the clamp. Most have that point cast in place, so it cannor be varied to make a better fit, or height of the bow stack.
I don't believe they were ever used on Ford cars from the factory, so you are looking for accessories.

I've seen Canadian cars with clamps - accessory for an American car - I have several different sets.

Re: WTB: 1912 top bow iron clamps?????
William's are roadster clamps for three bows. Whether your car has t.he mounting bracket for them is the next question. Whether to height of the bracket on the car will be acceptable is the next question. His are good in one aspect. The mountings are off-set, so they can be swapped from one side to the other to dodge fittings on the irons.
As others mention, they are accessories on US model T's.
