Hi Sasha, I guess I should check this forum more often.  Sorry I missed your question.  Answer: I don't have sketches.  However, I want to stress that it is crucial that when you have your supports fabricated, they also attach mid-way up to the windshield.  This bolt that goes through the (very strong) windshield frame is crucial to the shear stability of the support system.  If it is not there, the front of the top can twist to port/stbd and the top will end up making its way off your boat!  To avoid any confusion, I've circled the location of the through-bolted connection in RED in the attached photo.
 

JMK, I am going the same way finally on my 36foot 1995 Open with twin 375HP Cats. Beautiful boat with those engines. Tiara knows how to build them. I am getting the top with the two Bomar hatches. Brian Kane is my support person an has been great.  I am advised they do not do the kit anymore and was looking for the forward support information. We have good welders in Fort Pierce yards but no sketch. Did you ever receive a sketch of the two supports?  If I could have them fabbed and ready it would speed my process.

Appreciate any information on the struts.

Your example above is very easy to follow good job!

Sasha curious if you talked to Tiara if they still make the hard tops?

Yes I did. I realized they have the best top to serve these beautiful boats. My search now is for a drawing of the struts so I can get them pre made down here in Fort Pierce.
