Hi Mark,
First of all, on my original BT7 tonnneau cover bar, it is curved in only
one dimension. If you lay it down, it sits flat on a table surface with no
bow in the other direction.
Standing the bar up on a flat surface, the highest point of the curved area
is 7". Putting the bar in the mount holes in the car, it is 17-1/2" from
the driveshaft cover in front of the rear seats to the top of the curved
bar.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [Healeys] Tonneau Support Bar, BT7
I have an MGB Tonneau Bar that I am converting to use with my 1960 BT7
Healey. It fits in the bar holes perfectly after cutting off the tabs, but
sits much too high. Could some one give me a measurement from the floor up
to
the bar when it is installed. I need to cut the legs of the bar so it sits
at
the right height and since I have never used a Healey tonneau cover or seen
one installed at face value, I am clueless as to how high the bar should sit
in the holes. If there is another measurement that would work better send
it
along.
Also, this bar has a slight bow to it. If the Healey had a bow did it face
forward or rearward or was it perfectly straight in all directions?
Thanks, Mark
