In my quest to restore an old top, I need the distance in from each edge are the bow pockets. This would be the center bow. Anyone have a photo and the dimension? Thanks again all.

Again I'm coming with my M38A1 top. I know the M38A1 is a little longer than the M38, and I'm not sure which pocket you mean, but anyway here are main.

The pocket holding the frontal top bow is 200 mm wide, its center is located 280 mm from the top bow edge, and the pocket when flapped out is 150 mm. And of course there are two of them. Se my photos.

I hope this helps a little, if not please give me a hint about what you need.

Brinken that looks like a repro top. My original M38 top has three top bow pockets. You can see they are about 6" from the side and 12" apart.

Seems the WWII jeeps have three. And the very few M38 tops I have found inside photos of have 3.

Interestingly, they do not all have the same type of flaps.

Same M38 top as above
