TR-3A Top Bow colors:
OK, I just checked my personal supply and can report the following:
I have three top bows,
Signal Red w/ beige webbing on my totally original TR-3A (1961)
TS 753897L
BRG from another TR-3A (61) that I have owned since 1965 that was
repainted before I got it, BUT which was an original BRG car.
The webbing on that was beige also.
Beige from another long since parted out TR-3A (don't know the original
color). This bow has an olive drap (army) colored webbing which does
not (IMHO) look like the original webbing.
MY suggestion: Paint the top bow the same color as the car with beige
webbing and there's ample evidence to support that approach. Happy
Painting
