I finally got around to putting the canvas on that I have had in storage for about 7 years. The top for the M101 I purchased used and it is in good shape. The M37 end curtains are NOS with a repro cover. The only issue I had was with the black nylon rope on the new M37 cover. I tried three different knot types and they all seemed to untie themselves. The rope is too stiff and slick I think. I am going to replace it.

I hope all have a safe Fourth of July.

David;
I had the same black rope problem with the top I installed but the rope will "take a set" and hold after it has been tied for a while, I held the ends in place temporally with a couple of wraps of black electrical tape until it did set and hold.
