Headliner BOWS Drawings, MGA Coupe - CP-104C
Since new MGA Coupe headliner bows are not available you might want to make your own. Here is a preliminary drawing (subject to change). Dimensions are in inches. Click for a larger PDF image. If you can print it to scale you can use it as a template for forming the new parts.
Drawing in process.
At first glance, these may have the same cross section as the rear window braces for the Vandenplas aluminum hardtop.

"I made the bows for the roof lining according to the sketches and drawings we made and got them near correct, only had to move the holes by <1 cm. I think you better do them and drill the holes when the bows sneak along the roof".
"I used the lining from Moss, and to get a proper fit I had the arcs following (close) the roof line (except for the last ~4”). I think I had to shorten the front one by moving the holes ~10 mm on one side, still having the arc following the roof line. They were made by curtain rods which was first flattened a bit in the vice, then used wood formers to get it close to the original".
