<div>Richard you got that backwards. The 2 seater aluminium trim on the header
rail is square and does not hook onto the top rail of the windshield. The 4
seater has a hook and hooks onto the top rail of the windshield.</div>

<div>Hi Richard, thinking of those windscreen top rails. Maybe I'm getting
mixed up between the 100 frames and the 6 cylinder ones<span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"> so I would like
to get this clear in my mind. <br></span></div>
<div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">The part numbers
for the 2 seater and 4 seater chrome frame, which is listed as one part, is the
same 24B625 so it is most likely that you are correct in that hey were all the
same.<br></span></div>
<div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">However the part
number for the "hoodstick retaining rail" is different. <br></span></div>
<div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">As I remember
the 2 seater rail forms a hook on the front edge to hook over a lip of the upper
chromed frame where as the 4 seater style has no such formed
"hook".</span></div>
<div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">Unfortunately I
don't have an illustrated BN4 parts book and the handbooks aren't a lot of help.
<br></span></div>
<div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">If anyone out
there can shed more light on this subject I would be very grateful.</span></div>

<div>I won't be using my old top bow as a pattern. As you can see in the
photo, there are slits in the old top bow to make it fit the curve. I've
counted 23 slits. Who knows what make of car it came off of. <br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Michael, I looked at 4 different windshield frames, one of
which came off a BN7. I can see no differences in the top rails that would
allow the 2 seater top bow trim piece to lock into. Unless, the 2 seater
top bow trim piece itself is curved enough to lock under the windshield
rail?<br></div>
