Guessing here. Machine off enough to get flat, then use a flat spacer to get linkages, et al, at correct height. ??

I will have an update soon. Upholsterer started last Monday.
I'm going to his Shop this Friday to discuss proportions, fittings etc.

N.b. using Haast Stayfast Tan/Tan. Clear Vinyl is thicker. It's what is used on Flybridge Canopies on Boats. High UV resistance, doesn't pucker , prism or yellow. Fittings are genuine oem or as close to original as I have been able to source over the last 10yrs. It should be amazing!

I believe they recommend the more expensive wolfsteins products.... if your not able to find them then the 303 Aerospace products work great on those tops

Basic pattern looking
N.b. not the material that the Top will be made out of. Just for a good pattern.
Old post, but my unmolested '64 Aussie sourced '40 has its original Vader light switch going through the hole where you put the fog light switch. I, like you, added the fog light through an original heater switch panel hole since it doesn't have a heater like yours
Vader light override general pull switch that incorporates genuine early 40 series type heater Switch Bracket

The rig looks fantastic! That top came out great! Do they want to make more? 
I would reach out and see if anyone around you knows anyone who rebuilds electrical motors, starters or alternators.
I’ve had several starters rebuilt with great luck!

It's a 24V solenoid. I bought one without looking closely. To be fair, it is advertised accurately and is absolutely mint.Here is a option for Solenoid.
