Mcgarrett- thank you. I wonder if what the parts book calls a "Valance, (top) assembly" is the thing I'm looking for.

Brent- I stumbled across the Benson website doing an internet search. I did find the assembly part numbers for the curtains (A-42175,6-F and A-42177,8-F) but don't know the name of the small piece. I had planned on ordering the drawings for these numbers and proceeding using any info I could get from them. The Benson website doesn't mention anything about being closed. Are they closed for good?

I found the names and part numbers in my Body Parts List book; it sure would have helped if they'd have included pictures!
I might also add that "Technically Speaking Volume 8" has a very good set of drawings of the side curtains that will help in constructing a pattern, along with whatever else I can find.
