Bestop Install - Need Measurement!

[Tedster100]

I'm installing a new Bestop on my all glass 73 and since the body doesn't have the original top mounting holes I'm at a loss on locating the side rails. Compound that by the fact that I'm using fiberglass doors and custom upper soft doors (from Bronco Design) and it's becoming very difficult since the doors and the upper soft doors are custom and don't have the same dimensions as factory doors.

I figure the best way to begin is to make sure I have the correct distance between the rails. I'm assuming that it would be the same as the width of the rear window bar but I want to make sure since I will have to re-work the mounts in my glass doors for the windows to fit.

If anyone can give me the inside measurement between the rails at the doors that would be great. Also, a picture of how the rear bar and the side rails fit together would be helpfult too.

Thanks!

Mine measures at roughly 57 3/4".

I don't currently have pics of the rear car and the side rails but essentially the rear bar slides under the side rails. Hope that helps. If not, I might be able to take a pic later.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Still like to see pics if you can.
