[6pack] Hardtop

[John Macartney]

ISTR that earlier TR6's (for the UK market and ROW markets) used the normal soft top cover. What 
happend post-1972 after I left BL I don't know. I also STR the method of securing the factory 
hardtop required the use of the two large bolt holes on the rear deck which normally secured the 
soft top rear stiffener. Consequently, with the hardtop in place, all you had to do was wrap the 
normal soft top cover around the folded top. Of course, a better way was to remove the soft top 
complete and take advantage of the increased space behind the seats. On my TR6 I made a lightweight 
wooden box with a lifting lid that went behind the seats for more secure oddments storage.
