Re: Soft tops - snaps

["Myron Ware" <cmw@domain.elided>]

Curt,
  I found some replacement snaps in a $5 kit at HQ.  The kit included both 
sides of the snap, and a punch-like tool to install them.  It's been a 
couple of months and they haven't started to rust yet and they were much 
less expensive than the kit offered at a boat supply store.  As for 
placement, my top had holes in it from the original snaps, so I just 
reused those holes,
Myron

Anyone know a source for quality snaps (stainless steel would be nice) to
fit a Kayline softtop? I remember a discussion of this a while ago (before
I thought I needed the info, so I didn't save it) - I checked the
archives, but didn't see it there - are the digests still being archived?
Any installation tips for finding the right position for the snaps to get
the correct tension on the fabric?
