One man top side curtains
Anyone have a 23-25 touring with side curtains? I’m looking to find how they fasten in the middle on my 24 . My common sense fasteners are as fallows. Two in the front along the curve of the top and one upper corner of rear of bow and the three dot studs on the rear bow riser along with the small brackets on the windshield frame. I do not have any on the body or any fasteners in the center of the top frame. How do they mount and am I missing fasteners ? Pictures would be great! Thanks in advance with the help. Matthew

I don't believe all the information above is correct. The curtains at the rear used an eyelet which snapped into an Anzo fastener in the rear top socket.

I had found that to be true as well. At least that is the set up I have on my rear top iron. Only common sense faster on the rear is the very upper corner one, the other ones are pin and dot type

Re: One man top side curtains
My advice to you is to get the prints from the archives. That's what I did. I also used known originals. One thing I've noticed on on the 1925 runabouts, is the tags that say 1925 roadster, are not 1925 at all! They are 1926 roadster. The ones you need to find are the ones that say 22-25. I would definitely contact Mike Francis at Classtique. He has a pile of original side curtains, and maybe able to help you get things right.
