thank you!
Thank you David for the link to that thread, It answers a lot of questions about the canvas and fasteners. I was going to go with the lift-the-dot fasteners for the canvas, but now will go another way...
So, the personnel version of this top didn't have the folding legs? If so, that's fine by me....less stuff to build and I don't intend on it being a wireless truck. Thanks again, David

legs
My Morris still has the folding leg mechanism . I can take pics for you , its pretty simple . You have the Duple body which is pretty much identical to the Morris body
Not sure about that metal bar that holds the canvas along the sides , this was used on the Canadian built 8 cwt bodies , not sure about the Duple bodies, need to look at some pics of Duple bodies Mike

On my top hoops the holes to hold the sides down are threaded 1/4" NC and are spaced 7" apart.

Thanks for taking the time to share more of your experience with constructing a frame for the 8cwt, David.
Indeed, the pictures seem to suggest that only the Wireless trucks had the poles on the sides and the personnel versions didn't....but Mike makes a fair comment...I am not sure if this applies for the Duple bodies. Alex
