I have a top bow assembly given to me by the friend that sold me the rolling frame. It has been sitting out of a car for many years and has a light coat of rust. I had to spray penetrant to get the hinge points moving. I have a new wood header to install, but no top material yet. The holes were definitely filled in at some point as there is a faint trace of the pre-existing hole that shows from before the bodywork on one side.

<div>I thought the question was about the placement of the triangular plates that suppport and locate the lower ends of the hood sticks. I had to locate these with no real clue as to their proper position. I did it by attaching the top to the body cleats at
the rear and the windscreen at the front and then erecting the sticks underneath. After I had them I about the right position and fully extended I marked the positions for the screws. I was probably lucky and my top seems to fit correctly, but it would have
been nice to have a template.</div>

<div>Michael-these photos are on the disc I sent you (folder: hood -top) but you can see the general placement. The front turnbutton is most critical for fit. The second one back is a bit redundant and can vary slightly and the rear one, closest to the bar
retainer, can move around a little and then you add the tenax fastener to match when completed. Feel under the fender and in the boot for a bump where the bodyman filled in the holes if original and not Kilmartin parts. Hank<br clear="none">

<div>If the panels were replaced they would have had no holes. I could give you dimensions, but I’m not sure mine are correct. It would be interesting to see what the pros say.</div>

<div>Can someone tell me the measurement for the 3 holes per side to mount the top bows for my BN2? For some reason these holes were filled in by some ignorant body and fender guy. I don't know if this was done before or after I got the car, but I need to
drill them out now.
