Hmmm.  Thought mine was the "scissors" top from your description, but I
looked at the Mos
site:

oducts.mac/report?T=75149&ModelID=31000&PlateID=2557>

And now I am not sure.  Mine is #33 on that webpage.  (If you can
re-assemble the link, if not it is in the "tops and hardware page.")

My "other" roadster has a zipout window and I do like that feature,
though the zipper tears out on that car.
(With an optional glass window even... Mine is vinyl, I tried a glass
one once and it was nice.)

Would a '77 B have the later frame? (I've got a neighbor with a '77
that I can look at.)

Replacing a top hasn't been on anyone's top 5 list, so that seems good.
