TR Mitch Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I've posted a question about my Surrey top over on the 5 forum. To save duplication here I wonder if any of you kind & knowledgeable 4 chaps could look at the question for me? Surrey top question Many thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm suprised the cap fitted without fettling. I have bought two recently for two different screen frames and both have the pre-drilled holes apprx 3/16" to one side. Anyhoo, the pops are not normal and shouldn't be required. It maybe that you have loose pockets for the metal strips. You could replace the pops with bifurcated rivets that have a lower profile. Or remove completely and sew a seam in as you suggested. Or, insert wider strips. The gap may still require adjustment for best fit, but this is easily done. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
