Wanted pics and dimentions of M38A1 bow ends

Do you have M38A1 top bows on your jeep? I wonder if you could do me a big favour? I need a photo and size measurements on the end of the top bows, the bit that fits the brackets on the jeep when the roof is up. I have a military CJ5 with WWII fittings for the top bows and the cylindrical bow ends, i want to adapt it as it does not work for putting roof up and down, it all gets cought up on the rear end tyre airial etc.

To buy a new set of bows would be expensive as I have to import form USA or Holland to UK.

This means making and welding on the right bits at the end of the bows to fit the M38A1 brackets.

 

Thanks Sparky that is a great help, has anyone else got measurements?

Thnak Ron, all ready been there and very helpful I must say, No itsthe top bows, so big for postage, that makes import expensive $200+ for shipping. If only someone had scrap ones and could cut the ends off for me to weld back on the WWII ones?:?
