The two seater does not have the nut sert for the patch and has a cut out for the top frame on each side.

The one which came with the car was in bad shape and not sure how it got with the car.  Did not realize until later that the two were different until after the bow and top was completed.  Since I almost never put the top on I did not bother and never had a correct one to go by so never made the correct one.
