<DIV dir=ltr>Ron's right, I think. The Mark 1A probably used Velcro on the
sides. Look for rivet holes in the frame outer sides.My Mark 2 definitely
does.

<DIV dir=ltr>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><BR clear=none></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>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><BR clear=none></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>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><BR clear=none></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>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><BR clear=none></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>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><BR clear=none></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>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>
