Are the roof gutters on a 1931 leatherback Victoria body painted black or upper body color?
Is the front aluminum band that holds the front of the top down to the header, black or upper body color?
Is there a sealing material placed between the gutter base rail and top before it is nailed into position?

Thanks
Jim

I didn't know that they used an aluminum band, I thought it was a top type material...?

In 58,I replaced the top on my 31 leather back Vicky by following the instructions on pages 521-526 of the Service Bulletins.The job turned out well.I still have the Dan Post repop of the Bulletins,& every one should have a copy.
