Laying a 45ish year old cover out to make a pattern won't work either. I have no idea how a cover fit in 1963-4 but a 1963-4 made cover takes some stretching (in nice warm bright sunlight helps) to install now.
Circa 1986 I bought a replacement Robins brand cover kit for CSX2310. The cover kit included all the snap hardware loose. I had to take the car and kit to an automotive upholstery shop to have the snaps installed to match the car. When new that cover was real easy to install. Last spring on the Battleground Tour it was very difficult during cool rainy weather to stretch it enough to get all the snaps over studs. The 1986 replacement cover is now just as hard to install as a cover supplied by AC Cars in 1963-64.
I think Jim has CSX2401 in a restoration process right now. If the studs are out of the skin maybe the best approach would be to start at the rear middle and measure the center to center spacing of each stud hole, angle off center line, and distance from the rear view mirror stem?????
