I'm finishing up the top on Desert TR and I need a header rail seal...who makes a good one or do they all come from the same source?
Edit: while I'm at it how does the flap that runs across the inside of the top attach to the 2nd frame rib? It is attached to the top (cloth) and hangs down a good 4-5" or so.
Thanks, Rut
 
Rut, TRF made the last one I got and was a good fit.
As far as the rail flap. Some use snaps, others glue it. I prefer the snaps, just takes a little more effort to fold and put up.
Kind of hard to glue and not make a mess.
Wish you could ask Jim, thanks.

Aint that the truth! One thing that's obvious to everyone is that Jim was meticulous in everything he did and it really shows on Desert TR. Every day I do a little more to finish his restoration and I hope he's watching. It's kind of strange that I approach this car so differently than other restorations since I'm just fine tuning what he did and the others were man handled so to speak. They all received attention to detail, but I never hesitated to break out the BFH.

Rut, Can't wait to see the finished Memorial and understand your "White Glove" approach, I would be the same.
