Top Bow Straps for M151A2
Could someone please post a picture of the proper way to afix the Top Bow straps to the Bow? (the straps that are attached permanently to the Bows) I have the staps and rivets, just looking for the right way to install them. Thanks, Cal

Cal, attached is a photo of a Bow showing the position of the strap attachment (strap is missing). If you carry a plane stright across the top horizontally then measure down the top of the strap bracked is 12.5" down.

CSmith, Thanks, I found the original holes in the bow, they were painted over. I'll drill the new strap end and we'll be good to go. Thanks, Cal

Cal,
Before you install make sure you have the straps facing the right way or they won't work when you ties the bows down.
