Correct tonneau stud pattern for 427 cobra

[ERA Chas]

It strains credibility that the cars had precisely and consistently installed studs, one to the other.

We know all the stories, left side of nose different than right, five or more different flair designs, paint colors according to what was on the shelf that day, stripes by eyeball, hood rivets the same way...on and on. These are wonderful handmade creations with everything that implies.

I'd just do an installation that was reasonably close to the configuration and make sure the top/cover was nicely taut with a minimum of wrinkles. That's what I did on my fakey car.

Fair enough ERA Chas, I'll end the attempt to describe the stud layout.

A-Snake,
Please don't stop just because of one person.There are others, including me, who want the full set of "original" measurements.
I for one appreciate the time and effort you are giving.
Regards,

Also, is it possible to expand this to include the side curtain recepticle layout in the door? My driver door layout is different than my passenger door layout and I'm pretty certain that means I need to corrrect one of them.

Thanks

I am interested also. I don't even want a top or tonneau cover but I want to install the pins for the original look. I am looking forward to the rest of the details.
