Here is a new thread to post pictures of your new bows and feedback. This way we can keep "Top bows and Doors" more technical and under 50 pages. We can also discuss shipping, lists & what-not until Mike gets his new site going.

I like seeing the pictures of the bows and hearing feedback.

Edit: Russ, Can you move this thread to Member created parts?

Welllllll...

I'll start it off by fussing at myself, I guess. I finally got my bows all painted, and gave 'em a couple of days to dry thoroughly, and since I now have my bikini top from Matt, I was anxious to get it all together, so last evening, I went out to put it all together.

I guess there's not enough tolerance for MY paint job in the slip-fit between the top center section and the uprights. Sigh.

I put one coat of Rustoleum primer on the bare metal, let it dry, and followed that with one coat of gloss black Rustoleum on that. Tried to put it together, and wound up taking the paint off all the way back to bare metal!

I also scraped the paint on the bottoms of the uprights, where they slip into the bow pockets, but I was expecting that.

So I guess the question is, has anybody else got a solution that would allow me to keep the metal protected? Were the originals scraped clean like that? And did they wind up rusting as a result? Maybe that's why they're so tough to find!

And BTW, the fit _before_ the paint job was superb!

Jack,

The originals are scraped there too. If you want them to look original, they have to be scraped there.

Try sanding with 80 grit on an orbital sander before priming, then baking the parts somehow after the paint job. i think your failure was more of a case of weak paint adhesion than the fit being too tight.
 
I used to bake my intake manifolds, and valve covers in an oven to really set the spray can paint I used.. and it reealy helped  a lot I can't rememberthe temperature and time anymore nor can I think of what you would use to put a whole top bow in.. Maybe set it on a gas grille and heat it up for a few minutes ...what you want to do is boil off any remaining solvents and heat the paint so it's drying cycle is complete.

I don't know....... There is only a couple thousands of clearance there without the paint. I know that Sean said that he has to twist his bows to get them to seat so I know originally it was supposed to be tight.

I may be silly, but I actually want mine to be scratched there for the authentic look.

Hmmm...maybe...if I put just a _small_ hole in the oven door...

Nawww...she'd probably notice...

But, that's an idea Bill. As I said, I did let the paint dry for a couple of days, and there ARE those who would say that I already live in an oven down here, but obviously, it wasn't enough to prevent the loss of adhesion.

Actually, I like Jeff's answer better, cuz it means that I did it right! <g>

But I think that I'm gonna re-think this, but I also wanted to raise a red flag early on, before everybody else runs into the problem! They can bake, or otherwise treat theirs beforehand, and maybe save themselves the problem. Maybe Mike's tried putting his together since he got 'em painted? Mike? (But don't rush it just because I'm asking! Let 'em cure first!

I still think that if you add a couple thousands to the OD of the part, it will be scraped off or it won't fit right. I could make a new swedged tool and mail it to you. If people want more taper, we could just mail the thing around the world to all the different customers. Of course you'll need to borrow a 20 ton press.

Edit: Actually, this was the kind of stuff I wanted to talk about in the technical thread.

HAHAHA! I can't stop laughing at THAT idea! Took me a couple of minutes to stop laughing so hard that I couldn't even type!

No. I don't think that's what I want to do, Jeff! <g> I can just picture it now...I'd wind up crushing the tube (and probably the press!) if I tried to do that! Besides, I think you're right about the correct size...I think it's more a matter of the right KIND of paint, and the right method of application...and maybe, in the long run, they WERE all scraped clean! As I said, maybe this explains why there are so few original bows still around!

Trust me...I'm MORE that happy with the bows themselves! Just looking for a better idea on how to paint them. (And now I wonder how badly powder-coating would be on there...with the tolerance that you used, it wouldn't have fit either, if I recall correctly, and you would have had a REALLY rough time getting that finish off of the metal! <g>)

I have to admit I haven't followed the top bow discussion as I am nowhere near that stage. but have you considered having it finished with a black oxide? this process is inexpensive and adds no thickness. the only downside is the metal is still prone to rust in moist environments you would be wise to rub the parts periodically with mineral oil. Just a thought


Posted By: jpet
Date Posted: 16 July 2008 at 4:02pm
We discussed black oxide in " Top Bows" do a search in the index and you can find out where. The index is on page 1 in the first post.

Let's move this discussion to "Top Bows & Doors" This is what I consider technical. This post is for:
"Oooh I got my bows today! Here are some pictures!"And:
"Can I get a set?"


Posted By: Jus*Jack
Date Posted: 16 July 2008 at 4:03pm
As a matter of fact, I _did_ dip them in phosphoric acid first, in an effort to "rustproof" the inside of the tubing. That adds a layer of what amounts to a "controlled rust", for lack of a better term, but I don't know just how deeply that actually penetrates into the steel itself. As I understand the process, it does go below the surface, but how much, and did I leave it in the bath long enough, etc.?

I've also considered something along the lines of what you're suggesting, with the mineral oil, except that I'm probably going to use "Top-Cote", which is used as both a rust preventative and lubricant on steel tool surfaces, such as table saws. The alternate might be Boeshield T-9, which does basically the same thing. It would allow me to simply overspray the scraped (bare) steel, and that would prevent it from rusting...I hope!

EDIT: Ok Jeff...if you think that's more appropriate. I just thought this was really "feedback". Your call.

Well it did start out as feedback but then I'd ballooned into technical. Its becoming information that someone may need to make their own bows.


Posted By: rocnroll
Date Posted: 16 July 2008 at 4:33pm
If it's scraping the paint off every time you put the bows together then wouldn't it be logical that it will also scrape off a light coat of rust that has formed on them during the storage of the bows? Seems to me a spraying of WD-40 and a weekly ritual of putting the bows together should give quite the authentic look for your set of bows.
 
If this isn't possible or necessary then a good coat of paint and strapping them to the bow brackets ought to give the pristine 'unused' look you are striving for.
 
In other words....I doubt Willys gave a rip whether you have paint on them or not (or where they rub on the body when stored, for that matter)

after i allowed mine to air dry for 3 days, i hung them from the rafters on rafter hooks, and noticed my gloves made "light scratch" marks as i handeled them, i was almost livid at myself, until i thought "you know, they are going to get scratched up"..even just riding in the side pockets...

To clarify,  I said only one of them is a tight fit that needs to be twisted in. The other 3 ends slide in w/out cajoling.  The first photo shows the reluctant end, clearly devoid of original paint.  The other ends still have most of the original paint:

Jack, did you do the phosphoric conversion on these?  That alone will add some thickness.  How much is impossible to say, since it depends on solution strength, and how thick you put it on, how long you left it on, etc.  Could well have added up to more than .001, which would have increased ODs by .002+, and decreased ID's by the same amount.

Might have to sand the phosphoric coating off a bit to allow for paint thickness.

Low...I know that you're right about the scratches...but durn...I just HATE to have my brand-new bows gettin' all beat up!

Sean: You're probably right. I had wondered about the same thing. I followed Ospho's directions, and let them sit in solution (straight from the bottle) for half an hour. And incidentally, since I dipped them INto the solution, that means that the ID was also probably reduced by the same (unknown) amount!

For the moment, I have simply scraped/sanded the ends clean, so that I could try my new bikini top from Matt, and here's what the whole thing looks like:

http://picasaweb.google.com/Floyd763/TopBows - New bows and bikini top

(Last 4 are with the paint on the bows.)

Ain't it beautiful?!?!?! <g>


My next step will be to go back and sand the ends down a bit, and mist on a couple of very light coats of paint, OR spray it with the Top Cote that I mentioned earlier.

Nice looking Jack, the white looks better than I imagined it in my "minds eye". Wonder how long it will be before it turns "pink" from the red dust?LOL (28 years and I still remember that stuff from my off road adventures down there, or don't you have the red stuff in southern GA?) It is a nice look with the blue.

I think Turq looks really sharp with the new bows and the white top! Thumbs%20Up  I just wish you'd get rid of those nasty bestop bows now that you have the real deal! Angry  Why would you want to keep them on anyway? 
 
I see the two back side bows in their place, but what happened to the back top bow?
 
Ya did good with the white top on Turq.  That really looks sharp.  Tell your bride she did a great job picking the color for you! LOL

Jeff...it must KNOW it's one o' them "Fightin' Ill-guys"! <g>

Actually, I dunno why it would ask you for a password...that's supposed to be a "Public Album".

Gale: Thanks for the compliment...and as for "pink", I don't expect that to become a problem. We've got some red clay roads, but most of 'em are hard t' find around here. We tend to have a layer of grey sand (sand and loam together, I guess) on top of the _various_ colors/types of clay. In fact, when we dug for the pool, I'd bet that we saw at LEAST 15 different shades, from the usual brick red, all the way to dark blue and white!

And MIke...I'll tell her that you like MY color choice! <g> (Besides, after _I_ selected white, I got HER approval! <g>)

As for the Bestop frame, NOW I can remove it...but first I wanted to be sure that all of this was gonna work out. I don't have a lot of storage space, y'know! <g>

I also just got back from my first "Test Run" with the top in place. Above about 50 MPH, it does tend to "beat" a bit, but it sure made it a much more pleasant ride, with the sun shining down on it, rather than on my head! All in all, a very satisfied customer here!

I just went to the page to check it, and sure enough...says that making it Public will make it "viewable to members of the Picasa community"!!! Never realized that! The problem with embedding them in this thread Sam, is that I have to switch browsers (to Firefox), I think. Just didn't want to do that earlier, but I'll see what I can do now.

BTW Mike...the pics of the bows in the side pockets were taken on an earlier day, _before_ they were painted, and I was just testing for "fit". Since I'm still not convinced that the paint job is completely dry as yet, I just didn't want to scruff up the rest of them yet. Besides, I don't yet have a strap for them to keep them in the pockets! Gotta buy or make one o' those! You got an extra? <g>

Sorry Jack, I don't have any straps at all, much less any extras.  But if I had one I'd share it with you.  You could use it all winter while I've got my top on, and I'll use it all summer while the top is off!  How's that for cooperation! LOL 
 
I've been waiting on Matt to figure out that he could make straps for all of us from his bungalow in the North Sea, and start taking orders for Christmas delivery! Wink  Let's see.... I need the windshield tie down strap, the top bow strap, the canvas top tie-down straps.............

OK! I'll go along with that sharing idea! <g>

And as for the strap...that was why I said something! I dunno why he doesn't think that he can just pack and ship that sewing machine, along with all of his other "stuff"! (Even his wife is in favor of his continuing to sew after they get over there! How can he argue with that?)

And that brings up another question...I know that there was a brief discussion of listing items that people would like to see being done, but I'd say that we need a separate thread for that. Has someone already started it, and I just missed it? If not, maybe I should go start one right now! Good. I'm glad we discussed it! <g>

Look for a new thread in "General Discussion", I suppose, taking "requests" for items that others would like to see being made by someone on the list!

Glad you guys like the tops! They're tough too, the seams are at least double stitched. The fabric will rip before the seams rip. You guys can crank down on those straps to get a nice tight fit, it helps a little with the flapping and pulls everything snug. Oh and I made the straps extra long, once YOU find a nice length and buckle location feel free to trim them. A lighter will melt the ends of the black straps.

Oh, I'm to busy to make straps and Art C. is going to give it a go (i think)

No question about my liking the top Matt...and I couldn't crank down on it as much as I would like, simply because, as Mike pointed out, I've still got the Bestop bows on there, forcing me to go out and around them a bit.

One thing that does concern me a bit however...the front corners at the windshield frame...the tubing has a bit of a sharp corner to it of course, and that's only a single layer of fabric at that point. I suspect that this will be the first place to wear through, driving at the "high speeds" that I do! <g> Would it have been possible to take the doubled-up fabric along the front edge (where the grommets are) out a bit further, to wrap around the corner seam? I haven't really studied how you did that corner, but suspect that would have been a royal pain. Maybe I should just get out my file,and round those corners down, huh? <g>

BTW...I gotta tell ya..that white fabric really DOES make a difference in the heat coming down on me! (And Mike...my bride says to tell you that she has GOOD taste! <g> After all, she picked ME, didn't she? <smirk>)

Really am quite proud of my new bows and bikini top though. Had to go around town yesterday, just showin' off! <g>

Jack, would a little folded up pad of like, inner tube rubber, show after you put the top on? That would be one solution on yours.

If the inner tube rubber shows, perhaps you could cut a small piece from a light colored spunge that would not show as much.

A little bit of sticky-back foam weatherstripping would work well.  The sticky would keep it from moving around, and the foam would be enough to separate the top from the frame, and you could trim it so it wouldn't show.

The foam could be stuck on either the top or the windshield.  Since it's compressed between the two, it should not move.

Those ideas would all probably work...but my thought was that Matt might want to consider altering his pattern for however many remain to be done...IF it could be done simply.

It may never be much of a problem, I dunno, but first impression for me, as I drove along at 50+ was that this area was getting more movement and abrasion that was probably good for it.

Jack, do the corners rub? I made the fold a little taller on the corner to lift the canvas up a bit, it should pull on the sides and top. I didn't notice any of the tops being poked by the corner of the windshield frame. Every top has been test fit on my jeep to ensure it fits ok. I should have sent the scrap canvas with the tops for future repairs (if needed).
 
When I get home I'll install Sam's toast top and Russ's Black top to check where your talking about again.
 
I've been hot air ballooning and will be home tonight but won't get to it till tomorrow.

Are you saying my top is "toast"?  Gee, that's too bad.  I was looking forward to it.  Wink

HOT AIR BALLOONING???? The noive! <g>

It's not really a question of them "rubbing" while it's sitting still Matt. It's the fact that there is enough looseness at that point that when driving along at speed (speed???), it tends to move up and down, and will, over a period of time, begin to wear there, I think. Your "lift" at the corners keeps the top of the fabric from resting on the frame corners, but what happens is that the "sides" at that point tend to pull in a little, and so the actual contact is below the top of the fold.

Maybe I'm just being a worrywart. <g> After all...these things look so good, I'd hate to see them wear prematurely! <g>

jack, nice shots!!!  i only have one comment.....in your last photo.....ONLY in GA or FLA could  man get away with mounting such a nice compressor externally of the building and it still be there in a week or so...you must either live where they mail you daylight, or you have one helluva mean dog nearby :)~~~ low

Hehe...thanks Low. And you're right about the compressor (and the MIG welder, which also sits out there, along with a lot of different hand tools!) I originally thought that I could put that stuff in the living room, but my wife had "issues" with that idea! <g>

If you take a look at that pic of me in "Gator Garb", you might notice the gun rack in the background? Well, around here, I think it's a foregone conclusion that EVERYbody owns a few guns...and it's YOUR call, as to whether you think that the owner knows how to use it! <g>

It's a long run up my driveway, and there's not much cover, so if they DO decide to visit, they'd best be _very_ fast at getting back down it! <g>

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention that the only way to get in to the DOG yard that surrounds this area is to open a gate or jump the fence...and there's NO warning about "Bad Dog", which usually implies that the dog's really NOT! <g>

I was looking sort of enviously at Jack's sheltered but outdoor setup too.  Anyone that knows much about Arlington VA can guess that I live in quasi urban setting.  A few weeks ago, I had my compressor in the driveway behind my house because I had been attacking some reluctant bolts on my trailer that I had up here to repair.  There was no rain in the forecast, so I left the compressor outside because I intended to finish up the next day.  About 1 am in the morning, I was wakened by the nasty compressor running.  I had left the switch on automatic instead of off and had to chase out there and shut it off before it woke up the whole neighborhood.  Rural settings definitely have their advantages!

Yup...living in the boonies has its rewards! Since my nearest neighbor is over a quarter-mile away, I don't think he'd complain about the noise! <g> (Actually, about the only noises heard around here are either gunshots from somebody hunting or taking some target practice, or a semi running down the main road, which is also a quarter-mile down from me. Oh yeah, and the birds, of course! <g>

OTOH, I _do_ see A-10 "Warthogs" practicing overhead from time to time, and the occasional crop-duster...but those things have gotten dramatically quieter over the last decade or so. More just a "whoosh" anymore, since they're turbines.

And t' think that when I lived in Miami, I had neighbors living 15 feet away from me on both sides! Yuck!

Why...that's my secret decoder panel! I keep it hooked up to the battery, and it slowly, but surely, reveals to me all of the _correct_ serial numbers, and other data for Jeeps, which I then pass along to Sean...<g>

Nawww...Gale's right. A solar charger that I picked up from Northern Tool, or Harbor Freight. I was trying it on the Jeep battery, but without the "cigar-lighter plug", and it appeared to overcharge the battery, so I'm still playing with a clean and simple way to have it connected, (I had hoped to put a simple 2-prong connector plug on the battery, and just plug this directly into that. No muss, no fuss, but that didn't fly.)

If you are in need of a set of bows for your 3b, the sets made at topbows would work, but are primarily for the early 2a's.  I have an extra set for later models & including 3b's, if you are interested send me a pm.

we are currently making the tedious little pieces (all of our bows are handmade, including the small parts)...
 
we have a request in for a material pricing quote.....
 
as ndrtkr stated, our bows will work in 3A's and 3B's....the later just require 4 additional holes to be drilled in them, and the addition of two 3/8" stiffener rods.....

I don't know if it is my computer savvy,  or my computer.  I can't find the post that stated $250 for a set of 2A bows (public commitment: as good as a formal order) made by one of the members,  but I am very interested.  The pictures I have seen,  they look great.  I don't suspect I will make it to Cincinatti so shipping info is needed as well.  I have been searching for that post for half an hour,  and ran out of patience before running out of possible approaches.  A pointer or even a link would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

I do not know the status of lowenuf's Topbows reproduction operation.  as indicated in the link, it was suspended before he "went into the shop for repairs" and now without a doubt, his recovery is by far the first priority.  The bows that he makes/made are the ones reverse engineered by jpet and are spot on and the ones that jpet created this thread for before he turned production over to lowenuf, I believe.

I am doing better day by day......
 
I am currently on light duty at the Fire station for 8 weeks with heavy restrictions, i see my cardiologist again on August 1.....
 
It will be October the earliest b4 I know if i will ever return to full duty, so, until i reach that point, bow making is out of the question due to the lifting restrictions that i am under....
 
I have product to make a few sets of bows, but like i said, i am afraid it will be winter before i am able to, at the earliest i think.....
 
If/when bow making resumes, i will post on this site, and the TopBows.com website will return to active status :)

Mike,

Just a suggestion here:

Maybe you should let someone else pick up the production on a temporary basis for now.  I know that no one can predict the future and no one here would have predicted a heart attack or wants to see anyone go through that.  Thankfully, it sounds like you are on the road to a good and full recovery.  You have a lot of people here pulling for you that you do.  I only make this suggestion as a member her on the page because I see a group of people wanting to purchase bows.  I also see people willing to step in and pick up the pieces.  I don’t know how much time and money is involved in the whole process, but I know that Jeff’s original desire was to make bows available at an affordable price to fellow 2A owners.

Again, I don’t mean this as a personal shot but just sharing my thoughts.

Hope you are back to 100% soon.

Mike,  I too hope that your B day was a good one.  (my family has always followed a "birthday week" protocal)  I DO WANT A SET OF BOWS! I have cleared this with my wife, and I am allowed.  (I meant that to sound as child like as it did)  She loves to see me do something that I enjoy,  and enjoy the some things that I do.  On that note,  she will be offering me tutorials on the ins and outs of the whole "forum" thing.  Her brain works more that way than mine.  I suspect that I am the bumbling newbie here. I hope that you can return to doing the top bows and all of the other things that you enjoy.  (Dark)Mark(PA)

Fantastic.  I am in absolutely no hurry.  If I can have a part that comes from a vendor or a part that comes from someone who cares enough to craft it,  I would choose the latter hands down.  Down the road a ways,  I plan to make a leather top and leather seats,  so like I said I am in no hurry. Could you point me in the right direction to find out more about any of you guys?  I would like to get to be a little more than "that guy that pops in randomly".  I know that I cheated a little bit in sneaking that into "Top Bow Feedback",  but thanks and thanks.   Mark
