[TR] Roll bar and tonneau.

[Carl TR]

Tom - I had thought about this as well.  Would it be possible to use a
shorter cardboard tube or maybe PVC pipe to mimic the uprights so that you
could mark  the underside of the installed tonneau?

Subject: [TR] Roll bar and tonneau.

At this point I have the rear section of the new tonneau properly fitted to
my TR3A.  I have constructed a template for the roll bar relief holes for
both sides of the car.  And I have fitted the forward lift the dot fasteners
on the driver's side.

It seems to me that I cannot just lay the new tonneau on the floor and then
trace the templates onto it.  If I did that there would be no allowance for
the stretch of the tonneau when fully fastened.

So I plan to get as many lift the dot fasteners in place and fastened as
possible without distorting the tonneau against the roll bar.  Then I can
index the tonneau to the center lines of the roll bar tubes and then index
the templates to the tonneau,  At that point I think I can trace the
template pattern onto the tonneau and cut my relief holes.

Any comments are welcome before I do something stupid.

Best regards,
Tom
