we were short 3 for this 77 high top. so we made them. went down to the ace hardware store and brought some strap aluminum the keep on hand. now remember this is Hot Springs SD so we used what we had. it's 1/8 in bigger. I could think of a few was to thin them down but don't this 1/8 inch will hurt the running of it none. first drilled the hole in the end the cut it into a slot and filed the burs smooth till the knob slid in. with out rod for the pattern I could then slide it onto the car and mark the center dir the hole on the other end off the knob on the door. then drilled, cut, filed to fit. and we have the missing rods replaced.
