Cj5 Soft top dilemma

[Fear]

I have a '76 CJ5 that only had the front bow when I bought it.

I've been watching Ebay and purchased door frames, the horizontal rods that go from the windshield to the front bow and a new replace-a-top. I still need a rear bow, bow extensions, vertical rods and that piece that slides across the track on top of the windshield.

Any chance some one has pictures and/or dimensions on the remaining pieces? I've been having a hard time finding pieces for this top and have the means to fabricate these parts, I just don't have physical parts to inspect and measure to reproduce. I've all but given up on finding these parts used.

Would have been very cool if the last owner hadn't tossed the originals.

that is a very loaded question, you have not identified the top so we do not know what what brand to top to go with, there are many a manufacturers of tops and all used different stuff.

I got a Replace-a-top (Bestop) that reuses the original Whitco hardware. I'm sorry, I thought that was more clear. I need dimensions for Whitco hardware.

Thank you very much. That is an illustration for '76-up, right? Part numbers might make things easier to try to scare up in NOS parts stashes.

Also, this Jeep has the full Levis interior. Not the best shape, but there. I'm changing the color from nutmeg to black, so the denim dash, visors, bow covers, rollbar covers and front and rear seats are coming out. I'll be happy to swap all the above mentioned parts for missing softop hardware.
