Velcro is on the canrails and on the soft top.

Thanks for the responses.

The rootes manual only shows a diagram for the cable tension soft top.  =
What
do I need to look for in a Velcro verses cable tension top frame?

Notch is for webbing that pop rivets to the header and the bows with =
metal
plates.  The webbing is how long and how wide?  Ron indicates, I =
interrupt,
attaches to the header (1), middle bow (2) and then the rear bow (3) if =
I am
reading this correctly.  Metal plates are a mystery at this point - not =
sure
if I have these or not.

So if the Velcro frame, does the Velcro attach to the 'cantrail' RH and =
LH
which is about 24" long for securing to the top which has Velcro already
sewn into it?

Thanks again

Joel Martin

If you have cables on a Mark 1A top frame you actually have an early =
