Some quick work with a hobby burner fixed that problem.


Rivets and new elastic strap in place after one squeeze of the rivet tool. Thanks to e30dood for lending it.


Marking off where the elastic/nylon webbing straps will attach to the #3 and #4 bows and from the #4 bow to the rear. These new holes had to be drilled.


The rain rail was transfered to the new top. We used a C-clamp to secure the "speedy rivets". This method was crude and didn't look very pretty.


Pulling the spring and cord thing from the old top and transferring it to the new one. The new top will come with a string through the sides that you'll use to pull this assembly through.
