<div dir="ltr">The frame on the left is from a BN4, they were introduced when the older frame that was attached to the car was replaced. The frame on the right is the Abingdon style used on late 100-Sixes and 3000s. They are not interchangeable as the diameter of the legs is not the same. The newer style has thicker legs so you might have to widen the hole unless it slots directly into the tonneau bar hole. Strange that you have a 3000 but with an early frame. Normally you might see early Longbridge cars that have been restored with the later frames. Somebody must have modified your 3000 to get the early frame to fit.<div><br></div><div>Derek </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 3:22 AM, i erbs <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eyera3000@gmail.com" target="_blank">eyera3000@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Are theses frames interchangeable?<div>MY car had the frame with the bent legs, but I just got one with straight legs.
