Are you talking about the meatl bar that is inside the edges of the top
itself? I thought they were included with the top. If they are not, they
are a flat barstock that you could probably find at a good hardware store.
Size from memory is around 1/8 x 1/2 inch. Rear has two chrome hooks
permanently attached to the book deck (back of top gets attached here) and
the front bar fits in a groove at the top of the windscreen.
