Ron,

=20

I'm just guessing too, but I'm looking more at the contour of the cover =
than its shape.

=20

The cover on our Mk I Tiger, which we've had since '67 is most =
definitely flat.  Our Mk II Tiger is flat there too 'cause it has no =
cover.

=20

The cover on our Series II Alpine is clearly "humped."  And it has =
neither hinges nor the quick-release fastener.  It slips under a pair of =
brackets on the rear edge of the shelf and is attached by screws at the =
forward corners.

=20

We had a Series V Alpine for quite a while, but sold it in 2004.  I'm =
pretty sure it had hinges and the quick-release fastener, but I don't =
remember if it was flat or humped.

=20

I think we might have a cover or two from Series IV Alpines out in one =
of the backyard sheds, but it would be a major adventure to try and find =
them.

=20

I did do a quick thumb-through of the Here Comes the Judge chapter of =
The Book of Norman, but did not see anything about the cover there.  =
Maybe if we catch him in a good mood, he'll chime in on this issue?

Ramon

                That's what I thought until I looked at the one on my =
Tiger and it has the same shape as Joe's.

I'm not an original owner so I don't know if it is the original Tiger =
cover.

Maybe the 2 parts are interchangeable - I don't know.

Joe,

=20

Sadly, I think Ron is right.

=20

The Tiger piece is pretty-much flat.  It looks like yours has a raised =
area--extra clearance for Alpine battery terminals?

Joe

=20

                I'm not totally sure but I believe you have an Alpine =
access door.

=20

=20

=20

Alpine Parts List ? pub 6600992 ? section YX, plate D shows the access =
door with angled cuts at the hinged edge.
