Dan and list,
I knew I had these instructions somewhere. The Guide to Purchase and DIY
Restoration by Lindsay Porter has some very good instructions on fitting a
hood. So good in fact that even I was able to do the job some years ago. Just
take your time and read the instructions. I was able to drill out the rivets
on the bow and reuse the seal channel. I did get a new seal.

Subject: Convertible top installation - DIY or let a pro do it?
I've just received a new top for my son's '74CBB from Caribou
Canvas (after a two-month wait, I might add). While all of the rear
attachment buttons and the like are in place, the new top has to be
attached to the old header bow and have the buttons installed on the two
forward straps.
I've always considered myself a handy lad, but I'm a little
squeamish about tackling this task without any sort of instructions or
guide. Anyone like to contribute your observations, advice or warnings?
