Need M1101 / M1102 tarp bow dimensions

[blisters13]

Can someone who has a set of the bows please post dimensions?

Height from trailer deck (top of ribs) to top of bow installed
Radius of corners (on centerline)
Width (outside of bow to outside of bow where it meets the brackets)
Diameter of tubing
Wall thickness of tubing

Note: As I've seen in pictures, it looks like the front bow is lower than the other three

THANKS!

Me too! Or does someone have a stack of these out behind the barn that they would like to part with.

Having bought 5 of these trailers, my advice would be to buy a complete trailer with top, bows, brackets, and then sell your incomplete one. You should end up many dollars ahead. Bob

This was one of those, I wanted one and got 3 by accident. Need 6 top bows (I can make these but have not gotten around to it) and a top or two would be nice, but Kansas's point is well taken. It is getting to be a bugger to find M101 tops as well.

65" from top of bed rib to center top of bow.All have the same measurement.
83.5 +- outside to outside of bow at corner bracket /bow intersection
Plus/minus since the corner brackets have a bit of adjustment built into them.
Ill lay on on the setup table over the weekend and check the radius if someone doesn't post it sooner.
Will check the wall thickness also....

To add: 1.00 diameter tube, .120 wall thickness. Need approx. 164" of tube. Good luck. Bob

ghostcrab and KansasBobcat: THANKS guys, you are the reason this Site works!!

Gates and bows; I will have a custom tarp made because I want 78" headroom inside.
Bows are 3/4" EMT bent with a standard Greenlee hand bender. Radius is approximately 6" at outside of tube.

Thanks again for those who contributed to the info!

We now have two dimensions, both 1" and 3/4", to add one more to the mix, my two original bows are 7/8" outside diameter. They also have a small crown in the top middle. I have seen a couple of tops on trailers at JBLM where the front bow is a bit shorter than the other bows, but am not sure this is always the case.

Yes, that does show the shorter bow in the front and it looks like the bows have a crown to them as well. Makes sense as maybe the water will run off better unlike the truck cargo tops that often times sag and hold water.

It's amazing how difficult it is to find the actual dimensions or tech spec/drawing for the hoops/bows. I've searched everywhere for the specs (hole spacing and span, etc.) - even downloaded the TM - and still nothing comes up. Does anyone here have that drawing? Trying to get a fabricator to make me a custom set and wanted to give him the factory specs in their original format.

Any and all help greatly appreciated...

I have 3 complete sets out at my storage yard. I will try to get out there in the next few days and get some measurements.

Found a few sets of bows and a few sets of bows for the HMMWV as well. Now looking for the elusive tan cargo cover.
