Ian M Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Need a bit of help for a model I am building. I am trying to find pictures of the Crossed bars that hold the "sun roof" up on the Quads, I seen they are often depicted with the canvas off, but the bars always in place. Two questions: Could they be removed. How were they constructed, Was it a welded cross. Just two bars that crossed one over the other, and if so would they have been bent over each other?... Hope some one can help. Ian M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 There are a number of different types of Ford Quad, so it may help to be a bit more specific. I take it you mean the beetle-backed ones with the canvas covered sunroof at the top for cooling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) In this photo (sorry I can't remember where I found it, but it was probably on MLU) you can see a CGT or FGT with what looks like the canvas folded forward and no bars poking up into a ridge. Edit: Here's the source - it's one of Hanno's photos. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showpost.php?p=79927&postcount=199 Edited July 28, 2012 by Lauren Child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I thought who better to ask than those that know the real thing. Ian M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
