    I found this in the documentation that came with my 72 Jeep. OEM instruction sheet for Whitco soft tops. Not a lot of info here but it's another piece of the puzzle.

    Interesting. I've never folded the top around the bows, always just removed it completely when not using it.

    I have been wondering how these soft tops go together, this helps a lot.

    It seems there is a mount for the two hoop frame pieces, that looks to be a pivot for when folding-----anybody have a photo of this to share??

    I was given a top and doors, dont have any instructions, and I could not figure out how the hoops mounted.

    Thanks,

    Here's a picture of the bracket I have and some fine patina. Love that word.

    Thanks.

    Nothing like what I was expecting, glad I did not try to make one without seeing this.

    Nice find!

    It'll help me find the hardware I'm missing.
