My '26 DB Roadster project is nearing completion and is about ready to go the upholstery shop to reproduce the original top which is still with the car, EXCEPT for the door side curtins. Can someone direct me to some photos and or details of these pieces?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I do not have patterns for those. I need a pattern for my 1926 Roadster top if you have one available, or perhaps you would be willing to sell or loan your old one for a pattern?

Tony,
I've spent a lot of time with my '26 vacuum tank and Stewart carburetor lately, so I now have quite a bit of experience with it. School of hard knocks!

What is your car doing or not doing relating to fuel??

Where are you located?

First thought is don't but it you do you will have to install it at the fuel tank and get one that is adjustable way down in pressure.
