I'm needing the correct spacing of the center bow for a '72 Cutlass/442 convertible top frame. The Fisher Body manual is full of references to measure the previous top before installing a new one; unfortunately, my car had no top when I pulled it out of a West Texas cow pasture in 2012. Would someone be so kind as to measure their convertible top and share this measurement? I would be very grateful.

This is the measurement I need. The center bow does not attach to the top fabric, it is only attaches to the side pads that run along the frame rails on each side.

I measured 2 convertibles. They were 18.25"-18.5" from the outside. If I measure from the inside it is about 1/8" shorter. Hope this helps !!!
