Four (4) views of A-313 to date (11/2025). The line drawing illustrates the degree to which the original roof arcs have bent under the weight of time, the roof and snow & ice. If the original roof arches are used the Side Stakes will have to be lengthened to clear the Sanding Rod & Lever. TBD.

Try Option C and create a steam tube to allow the original arch to fit, and then re-bend it to the arch it should have and place within a clamped structure until it dries. Should work just like a trolley roof board.
Good Luck!

And that was my 7th time trying to post to the forum for that message!

I will pass that along. I have raised the arches 1 3/8" – total 8 ½” and that appears to be close to what was based on another detail.

My 11th attempt to respond.

New Gangway stanchions for A-313. A-313's were missing. One of the few things not recovered. Copied from those on A-804.
