LM Convertible Top Assembly

I am trying to piece together a manual top frame for my 66 vert. I have a bare frame and a little bit of misc hardware but I am having a little trouble figuring out how it is installed and what all I am missing. I don’t see this covered in the 1965 assembly manual nor does Clark’s seem to have a diagram. There is a chance I might have the hardware but I don’t even know what it might look like.
Anyone have some photos that would help me? Or another resource or book that might have some diagrams?

Some of it is covered in the '65-69 Vody manual - but not much.
The best source I have seen is in the Parts & Accessories guide - nice exploded view of the entire assembly.
Maybe I can grab a pic of it. Try to post here.
I am converting a '66 manual top to power now - I could take pics if that would help.

where are you located? I would have no problem letting a forum member use my car as a cross reference.

Thanks Craig! I don't have that parts manual but was able to download a copy (link below)
Thanks to those who have sent me pictures, it is very helpful.
And it looks like my buddy Caveman Pete has spare top frame that will hopefully give me what I need.
