Correct tonneau stud pattern for 427 cobra

Thanks for the sidecurtain ferrule layout.

If you could humor me for one more question on it - is the ferrule layout symetrical on the two doors? I've been corresponding with Bob at ERA on the fact that the ferrule on the rear of my driver door is about 3/8 to 7/16 inch further outboard - the middle one about a 1/4 inch further outboard..

Bob checked several other cars in there shop and verified they were all this way based on the template they use. The layout he sent me is pretty much identical to yours for the passenger door but the driver's door is different. I don't know - maybe just an ERA thing or maybe there is something about the use of a common lower side curtain frame/stud section that results in this when it's flipped around and used for both sides - don't know.

Thanks

They are symetrical on both doors. By this I mean the rear ferrule is inboard of the first stud on the rear cowl. The ferrule has to be inboard in order for the side curtain to fit against the top.

That's what I was thinking. I'm going to have to explore this further with ERA I think.

Thanks for your help.

Edit - ERA said their side curtains are not an exact duplicate of originals and the pins have been slightly relocated so they aren't going to match original ferrule locations exactly.

While we're on this subject, can anyone post a source for original-type side curtains?

Also, what is not included witha Robbins top that needs to be purchased separately?
