My TR3As top seems well constructed (straight seams, straight row of solid
snaps) but was poorly fit by the previous
owner.  There are no manufacturor's markings inside and so before spending
time and money trying to get it adjusted
Id like to confirm its the right top for a late 3A (TS64989), it looks like
it has the correct number of windows
(3) but:

Are there any measurements I can get to confirm which sub-model its for
(distance between seams, size of windows
etc.)?

Moss lists several tops throughout the TR2-3 series but only one set of roof
sticks (frame assembly) is that correct?

Somewhere I had a set of dimensions for the roof sticks but my email archive
got fried.  Does anybody know where I could
find them again?   (Distance between sticks, length of webbing, height when
up, etc).  I have lots of headroom now,
that's probably a sign it's wrong ;)

And 3rdly, I know I asked this before but:  the bracket that holds the sticks
to the body, mine is positioned so the pin
attaching the sticks is toward the front, somebody told me thats wrong so I
tried swapping it around but then the
sticks wont fold properly.  That could be because theyre not shaped
correctly and need bending or it could be
because the pin is really supposed to be toward the front.


Thanks listers,

Art.
