you sure you need them for a Mk 1A frame. My early Mk 1A uses Velcro along

<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094>Well, we started on the soft
top frame for the 66 Mk 1A. Would you say this is a over engineered,
complicated set up? </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094>The tension cable and
retainer spring, which I have neither, where does the retaining spring attach
to? The from collar, I believe attached to the Peak rail. Are
there 2 tension cable, one on either side?</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094>The peak rail or header rail
looks to have a notch in the center with several holes to hold something here
- what? The Rootes manual section O body does not show anything.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094>The cover plate, RH and LH, -
are they suppose to be machinery grey painted like the frame or chrome as
received from SS?</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094>Are there any good write ups
with pictures on soft top frame and top installation? I have not been
able to find anything.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1439990129173_15094>Pictures on the entire top
set up would be greatly appreciated. My little 3 stop light town does
not even know what a Sunbeam is other than a blender, so going to look is not
possible.</DIV>
