Cabrio owners I need a Measurement
Need some help from the Cabrio owners. I need the measurement in the attached photo. I am replacing my after-market folding top frame with an OEM factory folding frame. I need the exact distance from the rollbar slide edge (where the top slides into the groove) to the leading edge of the folding top frame where it mounts to the rubber deck.
Thanks

This is a very bad place to ask. No early 463 Cabrios were ever oficially imported into the UK and to be honest I personally know of no one in existence in these shores.
I suggest that you ask this question in the German G forum. Don't be afraid to ask in English... these guys (as most G-people) are very nice and they will be willing to help:

Isa,that measurement he is after is the exact measurement of my 460 too.
i would have got inkblotz the meaurement by now but i no longer own the folding frame.fredcosse is the man to ask providing his cab is finished by now :shock:
mark vulture might also be of help if he picks up on this thread as he has had many dealings with 460 cabs....

Hussein, I am not a 100% sure, because the G in the pic looks like a 463 and I am not sure that it is the same as in a 460...
the pic inblotz posted is a 463 for sure and the folding frame is the same as used on the 460. i think the later model cabs with auto hood differ....
[by the way inkblotz,did you buy that frame from guido-industrytools24?]
Negative I bought it off German EBay a few years back and am just now getting around to installing it.
The folding tops are the same on the later 460s and all 463's till they went to the pneumatic auto folding top.
