[TR] TR3a hood stick cover

[THOMAS FANSHER]

Joe, the lift a dot pegs go on the rolled side panels just in front of the 
rolled panel that covers the edge of the body in front of the gas cap. 
Those pegs are the ones with the 10X32 nuts on the backs. The holes are 
probably already in the metal. It's a fair amount of work to unassemble the 
upholstery and install the pegs.
Alternatively, someone recently wrote that the pegs could be installed on 
the top bows - much easier and should work just as well. I know that on one 
of my 3's the installed pegs are a little farther apart than the snaps --  
making for a very tight fit.  I did grab the pegs and pull them farther from 
the body and that helped some. I could send pictures if you need them.
