Re: Available New 87-92 Convertible Header Panels

I can actually speak for them, they are in the works for the Bow!3 header piece. Bruce and I went through the information a while back and there are three different types.

1985 - 1988 ( Type 1 )
1989 ( Type 2 ) is unique for the year
1990 - 1992 - ( Type 3 )

he actually has my Bow #1 header piece to make a copy from.

How are these made, and what keeps them from warping like the old ones?

My order is in for one if it installs cleanly and doesn't rattle or itch!

Re: Available New 87-92 Convertible Header Panels

I believe the are vacuum formed around a plug. Just like the originals.

I know that plastics have come a long way in the last 20 years. I work with plastic every day...

As for rattles... mine never rattled, I did notice however there was some thick foam like adhesive strips on the unexposed side that were intended to keep it from rattling from ASC. I would imagine something similar would be in order to keep the new ones from rattling...

It is no wonder we get as much press as we do in the mags... We are #1 for a reason, not to be mistaken for would-be imitators...

Yes I am proud of our site.
