I had the surrey top off about 13 years ago when I painted the
car. Attachment is rather simple, about 8 studs with either
7/16" or 1/2" inch nuts and washers. The studs are attached to
the bottom of the surrey top frame. There are holes in the
body. I believe that they are the same holes that would be used
to attach the chrome caps/trim used to attach a soft top. But
I'm not sure. If there is someone in the area with a digital camera
willing to help, I could get real enthuasiastic about documenting
the attachment of the surrey top. Until then, I'll be happy to
provide any measurements or descriptions requested. I'll check
around to see if I can borrow a camera. Perhaps someone with the
Santa Clara chapter of Triumph Travelers has a camera and would
be willing to help in this endevor.
