My Longbridge BN4 came only with the top frame itself when I bought it (no
bow, clamps, clips, etc.), so I'm a little bit clueless about what else is
supposed to be there.  I started digging through the Moss catalog, hoping to
figure out what I need to buy, but it just lead to a ton of questions.  Other
than the wood top bow (part 806-080), they're also showing a Retaining Rail,
but the only one available is for a BN6/7.  Is there a difference, or can I
use the rail for a BN6 on my BN4?  How is the top attached to the rail and top
bow?  Is the top bow the same for all six cylinder roadsters (pre BJ7's)?  I
also see something called a "Hood Seal", which I'm assuming is just a strip of
rubber.  How is the seal attached to the top?  Is it just glued on?

They're also showing something called a "Clip, top to frame".  Again this part
is only available for a BN6, BN7, & BT7.  Will it fit a BN4, or were the BN4
clips different somehow?  How is this part attached?

Sorry for all of the questions in one email, but without a top assembly to
look at, it's fairly tough to figure out what I need.

Thanks,
