[Spridgets] need metal strip thingy for soft top

[Rick Fisk]

Hey Michael in Wisconsin,

Don't know if anyone else has already answered your question, but here goes. 
I had to dig around in the garage, but I found one.  It's a flat strap about 
9/16" wide, 36 1/4" long, and about 1/16" thick with rounded ends.  It has a 
gentle curve along the flat from one end to the other.  You should be able 
to make one if you can find some thin steel strap material.

Rick
