[TR] Putting a convertible top on my TR4A this weekend

[Greg Lemon]

The Buckeye Triumph site 
http://buckeyetriumphs.org/technical/TR6Top/TR6SoftTop.htm   has a nice 
pictured tutorial on fitting a TR250/6 top, other than the side window 
velcro fittings they are pretty similar to the TR4A.  I did my TR250 top, 
first time I had done a top, though I have done a couple tonneaus.  Sidewalk 
chalk is your friend fold it in half, find the middle, mark it with the 
sidewalk chalk, start from the back middle and work your way forward, mark 
where you need to make holes for the various fittings with the sidewalk 
chalk, that is it down to the bare bones, one of the critical bits to get it 
to fit and look good, contact cement (for the header rail) does stick on 
contact, but you can still pull it up and go again if it is not quite right. 
Good luck.
