rear headliner bow wire length Mach 1/fastback

[fordbsg 10]

does anybody have an extra wire or one out they can measure for me, my Mach 1 did not have a headliner in it when I got it, it had the bows in the trunk but no rear wire that holds the bow tight. I am going ti make both of them but I dont want to make a guess on the length.

 

Thanks all

I currently have the headliner out of my Coupe so I measured it for you. The retainer wire is 4" long & the part of the wire that wraps back around to hold the headliner bow & that clips to the inner roof structure are 1/2" long. I do not know if they are the same for a Coupe & a Fastback but I figured if they are that should help you out.

Was out working on my rust bucket and happened to look up and see those little wires on the last bow for the head liner. It measures 4 9/16" and should be easy to make. Hope the pic helps... if you can see it. It is out of a '70 FB if you are wondering.
