Bob, Glad you posted the pics of the top, they are helpful to me also. It appears that the webbing in front of the front bow may be different than the rest of the webbing, or it may be due to more wear or ?? Can you elaborate?

Hi Gary,
Here are the pictures of the bottom of an original top. This car,881640,is amazing as with the exception of the resonators and header tank it is totally original. The car was still in the hands of the original owner and had only 20K miles at the time I shot these and other pictures late last summer. I had planned on going back, Saginaw Mi. area, and taking more detailed pictures but the car was sold to a collector of original cars in Wisconsin.
Before Paul S, morning Paul, I gets on my case, I should mention that I did list the car on XKE data,

PS Notice the inner liner on the original top.

I am working slowly to replace my convertible top. The new
top is black cloth. There is webbing which connects the
bows. Currently, the webbing connects the front bow, the
middle bow, and rear bow. I think maybe the webbing show go
from the header all the way to the tack strip. It is bolted
to each of the bows, tacked into the tack strip and somehow
connected to the header. Could someone please give me some
advice on the webbing connections and perhaps a picture?
I am also having trouble stretching the top. Any advice?
Thanks
