[TR] TR3 rear seat back question

[Carl TR]

Good morning all.  (I am resending with the correct subject - sorry)

I was finally getting around to installing the top bows on my TR3 project.
The examples I pulled from the web show that the rear seat back stops
anywhere between about 2-2 1/2" to 3/4-1" 
below the top of the rear capping piece.   Mine is almost flush with it.  It
is possible that the two layers
of heat/sound insulation and the carpet could account for some of the extra
height but not all.

1) what would be the correct distance?   It would make sense if it is in the
2" range so that the top bows could 
nestle down below the capping. But that would be a lot of trimming on the
back piece.
2) what is the distance from the front of the flat platform (post 60000
body) to the location of the base of the back piece?   The optional rear
seat has a 12" base/13" cushion (I think the extra is mostly at the back.
3) what is the approximate angle that the seat back bends at the top (mine
is only about 10d) 
and the pictures I have appear to be closer to 75-80d.

Thanks

Carl
