I haven ever seen and original set of bows and was happy to discover the "hooks" shown in your pictures.

Would be nice if Jordan B. would chime in with is recent bow expereince even if his are special for the radio truck..

I have concluded that 1 inch diametre pipe was used....BUT what kind...thin wall, thick water pipe or electrical conduit thin wall.
As far as I can tell they are for the 2C bodies onwards, and likely to be the same for the 2B1. But you would have to check with Pete Ashby, he built a 2B1 from scratch.

I will take some detailed measurements in the near future.
