Elan headling bars

Post by: **cortinaelan455** » Tue Sep 29, 2020 8:03 pm

Anybody have a picture of the roof bars that tension the head cloth in an elan.
My car has a sun roof that I've removed so the bars were never with the car.
The wire clips are still in place above the doors, even suggestions on what to make them out of would be great.

They are 5/16" OD thin wall galvanized tube. I'll post a photo as soon as I can find it.

Hi,
Have you still got the sunroof please and any photos of it fitted?

Regards,

Mark.

Brilliant thanks for that. I'll just make some up.
I do still have the sunroof it was an after market number. I've attached an image of it fitted.

I think I made a tracing of my stays. It is probably at my winter Florida home where I am restoring my FHC., but I'll look here too. You would be able to make new ones easily from my tracing.
