Mike,
I sure like the full cover, lower picture.  Nice fit.

Is that material fairly light weight?

Which of your machines did you do that sewing on?  The Juki or Singer 111W?

Anyway, nice seaming, tension obviously fine, and operator knew what he was doing in handling the fabric layers as they flowed through the needle.

With my needle feeds, I have to manage the fabric flow very carefully to avoid seam puckering.

doyle as I said I did that cover maybe 3 or 4 years ago it is a heavy cover  with a soft liner I used my 111w
the canvas june was the old top you can see on the main frame it had Velcro loops ii made normal zippered pockets sorry I didn't get a pic of the new top.

Any way, the fastners I have used like that are a two part, one part to the body and the other in the cover.  The part going on the cover, I did use a cutter and I believe I just folded the back retainer.  Been a while, my experience was on European cars.

I forgot to cut the hole I used my lift the dot tool cutter the hole was a tad small but made for a tight fit.
The washer just screes on and has a specisl tool nut like rich mentioned ring plyer sill eork if the prongs are small enough.
