The rear one is grooved on top.
The other one is flat.

Perfect! Thanks Carsten! Just as I expected. The width is basically the same on them. Just slightly different curves.

I wonder if the wood is somehow made rotproof or just painted?
Any of the cloth or stuffing glued to the wood or is everything stapled to the wooden parts?

What do you need?
That is one freaking complicated hell of bows and levers.
So glad that I do not have to "make" one.
I made some pics.

So I lined the halves up with the bolts and nuts until I get them welded on the frame.

Also started working on the parts for the rear decklid…. Needs some rust repair in the tip. Better do this while I have the inner part drilled out…. :)
