Default 1974 Soft Top Replacement

I am in the process of replacing the soft top on my '74 corvette. The soft top framing was all replaced, when I purchased the vehicle, so that is in good working order. Also, when I purchased the vehicle, I also received an Al Knoch 1968-1975 C3 Convertible Top Kit. http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....Z5Z5Z50000155a

Specifically, I am trying to determine what remaining parts I need, to successfully install the soft top. Does anyone have a good diagram of parts required or know where I can view one? Any pictures of a replacement project you completed? Any additional help would be greatly appreicated.

Lou

FWIW: this is one of those jobs which might be better off left to the pros. Finished appeareance is what you're after with everything nice and tight, tidy, and pretty.

Good luck.

I totally agree. I have been in touch with Auto Upholstery shop, which only does convertible tops. They can work the covette in, anytime. I just want to be able to give them all of the parts they need to have a quick turn around time.
