Soft window targa owners - I have some questions

I started my SWT conversion on my 71 targa. I have the hoops fit and ready to weld in the tabs on the rear deck. I have a few questions that should be easy to answer. All the other fitment has been done.

The upper tensioning hoop is operated by two handles. There are two recepticles that bolt to the hoop and attach to the handles. I need to know how the top material is configured for these recepticles. Is the top cut to completely access the recepticles? Are there just holes cut for the hardware and the recepticle sits on top of the material? This makes a difference in installation.

If you could post pictures of the handle configuration that would be even better. Taken from behind and below clearly showing the brackets is the best.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry Jamie, I spent the weekend looking for pictures that might help you but couldn't find anything that showed in detail. I'll keep looking.

Kevin, thanks for looking.

I just found one in the factory soft targa manual. I have a scanned picture of it. It shows the rear hoop bracket sitting on top of the top material. I guess I will just poke the three holes for the bolts to go through and sandwich the top under the angle brackets.
