Terry,
Normally you need six. I have found them on the web but they are not exactly right. If you can get these made , fella let me know please. My top people went way south on us!
I told him absolutely two weeks period and then I was shipping your top back-he said no problem, a week went by-nothing- I called and reminded him again. Wednesday he picked it up and couldn't find a manufacturer to make the frames or the bows! (I thought that part was done!) Seems that particular guy ran a full sized manufacturing plant, wanted CAD drawings etc. The first few tops he would make, including our five would have been in the astronomical cost range! Then he callled and asked if he could keep the top two more weeks? Now I have a '40 Willy's at his shop for 10K worth of work, Cpt eddies Cobra for a custom interior, two boats to re-do and I get this treatment. Guys I have seen this scenario over and over again in the last 30 years. I made it very, very clear to him he had two weeks-period. I simply told him to return the top, that it had to go back on the UPS truck. The whining started! Tough crap, we're the customers if you don't want my work, our business then don't tell me one thing and do another!.
Terry your top will be back on the UPS truck tomorrow.

SORRY EVERYONE, IT DIDN'T WORK OUT, BUT I TRIED FOR WHAT THAT IS WORTH- THANK YOU TERRY FOR THE TRUST AND THE INCONVIENANCE. Maybe down the road someday.
