[TR] tr3-a bow

[Geo & Kathleen Hahn]

Here are the instructions that came with my Amco top years ago -- but I 
would only consider them a starting point.  For a good fit you almost have 
to do some trial and error as I think there are variations among top 
manufacturers, esp where that seam that corresponds with the rearmost rib 
ends up sitting.

Some leave that rear bow unattached to the webbing to make it easier to 
erect a tight top, this also simplifies the placement as it becomes somewhat 
adjustable.

I finally did mine using lengths of nylon rope/cord that I looped around the 
bows for multiple trial & error fits until I got what I wanted, then 
measured and installed the webbing.

I think you want the bows to be a little bit high so they get pulled down 
(and the webbing pulled taut) as you pop the 'knee' back to fully install 
the top.
