Metal strip that goes across the bottom of the top

Post by Kbillet » Fri Dec 06, 2024 2:57 pm

The 15 has a steel round that fastens the rear of the top to the body. Anybody have an idea as to where to source the material?

Compound curves are tricky...

Touring or runabout?

In the meantime, you could use a length of trim strip and upholstery nails. Hidem binding is a bit late to be using on an early car.
