[Healeys] Top Bow disaster

[David Nock]

Richard you got that backwards. The 2 seater aluminium trim on the header rail is square and does not hook onto the top rail of the windshield. The 4 seater has a hook and hooks onto the top rail of the windshield.

Hi Richard,  thinking of those windscreen top rails. Maybe I'm getting mixed up between the 100 frames and the 6 cylinder ones so I would like to get this clear in my mind. 

The part numbers for the 2 seater and 4 seater chrome frame, which is listed as one part, is the same 24B625 so it is most likely that you are correct in that hey were all the same.

However the part number for the "hoodstick retaining rail" is different. 

As I remember the 2 seater rail forms a hook on the front edge to hook over a lip of the upper chromed frame where as the 4 seater style has no such formed "hook".
Unfortunately I don't have an illustrated BN4 parts book and the handbooks aren't a lot of help. 

If anyone out there can shed more light on this subject I would be very grateful.

  I won't be using my old top bow as a pattern. As you can see in the photo, there are slits in the old top bow to make it fit the curve. I've counted 23 slits.  Who knows what make of car it came off of. 


  Michael,   I looked at 4 different windshield frames, one of which came off a BN7. I can see no differences in the top rails that would allow the 2 seater top bow trim piece to lock into.  Unless, the 2 seater top bow trim piece itself is curved  enough to lock under the windshield rail?
