I want sell this top, but what is it for? In the front having 10 brass grommets, rear 6 web straps with buckles (brass?). 3 reinforcing strap in length, and 3 web straps with buckles for top bow. Looks like Willys style. Heavy stinky canvas (Beechwood?) See pics.

Re: Canvas top FS
It looks to be an attempt at a GP top. Wrong eyelets across the front (should be Burco style), straps across the rear should be Burco eyelets, 3 straps in bow area should be leather (with appropriate roller buckle for leather) and should be near the front of the top to tension to the windshield frame, should be some slight darts (with leather reinforcements) on either side to give some contour to fit the bows. All of these observations are based on study and discussion of original GP tops owned by Jim Gilmore.
All that being said, the relocated straps, the use of Common Sense eyelets and the use of straps across the rear instead of eyelets, would make the functionality of that top a vast improvement over the original design.
