Bob,
The bolted attachment with the plate that you speak of is what I had on my =
74. I suspect (like you) that the 76 would have been the same and that a p=
revious owner changed it. The front has the standard TR6 attachment to the=
windshield with a header in the forward edge and two turn handles to fix i=
t to the windshield.
Thanks for your input.

Creig,
I doubt Triumph changed the top attachment for the 76 year since it was the=
ir last. My 72 is attached with that steel bar/plate that is bolted to the =
body. Top cannot be removed without removing those bolts. Sounds like this =
is a TR4 or 4A setup. How does it attach to the windshield? Same as on a 6?

He is considering changing the black vinyl top on this 76 to tan. I see Mo=

? Are there other types/brands/vendors he might consider for comparison?
