Default Lebaron Bonney new top kit - 32 sedan.

Hello! Years ago I ordered a top kit from LeBaron Bonney for my 32 sedan. I unpacked it today.

There is the top material and some wadding and another piece of material, light brown.

Plus some strips of material that appear to be offcuts. I assume these get glued to the top of the wood bows - am I correct?

Is the light brown material supposed to go on top of the wood bows, or do I need to get some chicken wire to go on first?

Or does that go on top of the chicken wire?

Also I have 4 aluminium strips. 3 are flatter and wider, one is narrower. I believe the narrower one is a hidem type, can I assume that goes across the front? I imagine the flatter types have to be formed to go around the rest of the circumference of the top material.

Can anyone point me towards any useful threads or videos or posts on other web sites where I can get some hints and tips?

For example forming the aluminium strips.

I have watched some videos on Model A tops which ought to be helpful.

Any hints and tips from anyone that has done the job are welcome. If anyone has any instructions from Lebaron Bonney a scan would be helpful.

I'll post some pics.

Thanks in advance.

Mart.
