Has any one a good understanding on how the makeup and positioning of the roof bars is, had a new soft top fitted , to a new to this car roof frame , fits ok looks good but will not fit in the storage area , And can not find good drawings of all bars To be sure frame is built correct , tried pulling all roof fabric out from between the bars still pushing up lid about 1/2 inch each side , this is on a 1971 C1 , total restoration so nothing is original , have a great day , and be safe
 
if in no hurry when i get my 61 out of storage i can send u some pics of roof up down I/2 up down etc.. car in packed away in container 2 cars deep..

or ill check as i was restoring it if i have pics of roof. i never changed roof out yet... ran out of $$ and bought c7..

What do you need? Roof bow spacing measurements or pics during and after installation of top?
Replaced the bows and soft top on our 62 last summer think I have measurement specs in my project book. One thing I found was that we needed to adjust both mounting brackets on each side and the lower one behind the seat was adjusted to get the top to pack down and allow the cover to close.
Let me know if I can help
Bob
