    57 Convertible Top Judging Points

    Are judging points deducted if the soft top straps are not installed? Can anyone post pictures of how/where the straps are installed?

    Hi Salvador
    That judging line item includes Bows, Pads & Straps. It has a total value of 11 org/ 6 cond. There are several portions to each item. How important to the total are the straps? At least 1 point would be reasonable since they are missing.

    I just installed them on my 1957 and had the car judged at Regionals.
    The fittings for attaching the strap to the bottom bow are welding into the bow. The snap fitting on my car is 8-32 thread. The upholstery screws I received from a supplier were 10-32. I obtained the correct ones at a local marine hardware store. Check the size in your bow.
    The distance from the center of the snap fitting to the far side of the vertical strip of material (just inside the window) is 5 1/4". For attaching the strap, the snap screw in the window opening installed through a hole that was already there.
