[TR] TR4 top

[Andrew Uprichard]

Thank you to Bob (and Henry, Michael, Jerry, David and Tom) for your helpful
replies.  Clearly the top which came in a box marked "TR4" is not correct -
which helps explain my confusion.

 

I will be visiting Albert at the Roadster Factory later this week and I am
sure he will helpme, now I understand what I need.

 

Great list, great advice !!

Andrew,

The rear attachment is similar to the 3, Lift-o-dots. The front, however, is
attached just by slipping the cover under the top of the windshield frame.
Inside the top there is a set of thin steel strips that just fit under the
lip of the frame. The tension applied when you expand the hoodsticks secures
the front. Great idea I must admit. I like it better than the fitting on the
4a, 250 and 6. Very secure and easy to set up in an emergency.

List:

 

I have a TR250 where the soft-top latches down on the windscreen frame, and
TR3s where the top is help by a row of tenax fasteners.

 

I recently acquired an early TR4 and it isn't clear to me how the top
attaches.

 

Any help would be great.  Thanks!
