I've been looking for the metal bows for a 26/27Roadster for a number of years. They have proved to be quite hard to find.
However, while at Luray this year, I spoke with Mel, of Mel's upholstery. He informed me that he had begun working on making reproduction sets with an iron worker friend. According to Mel, his associate also farms, so the development of the manufacturing process was interrupted by agricultural priorities. I did contact Mel a month or so ago, and talked with him again at Hershey. Alas, no progress.
Perhaps if more folks expressed an interest, Mel, and his friend, would get back to working on the production of the elusive 26/27 bow irons?

Have you tried Model T Haven.., you might want too.

Posting an ad in the classifieds, as you have, is a good start. If you know what to look for, eBay is another.

I bought mine off ebay about 5 or 6 years ago with a new never mounted top and perfect bows/frame.. It was a last kind of a last chance purchase for my 26rpu because I had been looking for several years and was tired of looking..

I'm still looking. any leads would be most appriciated.
Thanks

Search for John Boorinakis in the forums here. I'm expecting a shipment from him soon.

You could try Macs. They list a new set online and note.....ships from manufacturer.....so make take a while to get a set made.

I have a brand new set in the box.Call me if interested.. Terry. SOLD SOLD

IWhat is your number?

Well someone scooped me on those irons.
Also, I placed an order with MACs (just to see if it was real). and it wasn't.
They cancelled the order due to being discontinued.
Thanks all.
If anyone has or knows of set please PM or email me.
It would be much appreciated.

Hello Leonard,

Would it be possible to cobble the one piece “third irons” that lock into the hinged two piece irons with some earlier year irons?

There is a set on eBay, i have no connection with this sale, just passing along the info

In your search for a 26-27 roadster top you happen to stumble on a 25 roadster top let me know I have had zero luck finding one. Just a scammer trying to sell me one…….twice
