John--

I did just that on my 100.  Rather
than using solid steel I used very
lightweight 1 x 19 stainless steel cable 
with fittings that you can
purchase at a good marine supply and swedge on with
tools they have on hand.
I used a toggle fitting at the top and attached it in
place of the buffer
plate.  The bottom end of the cable ends in a threaded
terminal which I pass
through a small hole in the scuttle just behind the
mirror, then tighten
everything down via a thumbscrew so that the top seals
absolutely tight at
speed.

Purists need not comment.

Best--Michael Oritt

I
had thought of running a stainless steel threaded rod from the centre of
> the
top frame to dashboard (as MGB??)
