[Spridgets] Bugeye original interior questions...

More questions...

On early Bugeyes there were gussets added between the rear axle hump and the rear wheel arches.
This was later replaced with a box section support.

On those cars with gussets the front hardura mat had two notches cut out to clear the gussets.
I have a picture of this type.

Question:  Is it the case that there are two types of hardura mats?  Gusset and non gusset?

Also,  there was a strap attached to the rear top of the cockpit that tied to the top of the bows 
when they were in the stowed position.  From my photos it looks like a white cotton webbing strp.

Was there a buckle on this strap? What did it look like? 

Finally, What's a good way to duplicate the light "Cumulus Gray" paint for the top bows?
