Dan - "Year One" also carries the correct tack strips. I got mine from them years ago and they're still in great shape. I think they're about $15 each, ready to install. The front and the rear tacking strips are different widths. You can find them at www.yearone.com p.s. I installed my complete top with no experience and no help, and it turned out pretty dang good! Would have been easier with an extra pair of hands sometimes, though. Good luck!:TU:
