Tim,
Can't help with the top, but can be of some assistance with Kent as he is a
friend.
Keep calling that same number. Make sure you tell them to put on the note
that you are interested in a hood for your Tiger. As Kent works some pretty
weird hours, make sure that you give them BOTH a work and home number and
note the best times to call...particularly how late is too late. Kent likes
to work the graveyard shift for some reason, so you can expect him to return
you phone call pretty late at night.
Finally, if you need me to, I will try and stop by the shop over the next
couple of days and see if I can't scare him up. Send me your contact
information off-line and I will see what I can do to get your message
through.
Good luck on the top. Last one I did was on my (long-gone) Datsun 2000.
Or, was it the TR-6???? A mind is a terrible thing to waste....or, am I
just having a Senior Moment?? ;-)
Regards,
Allan

Subject: Convertible and LAT Hood
Tigers,
I have started the frustrating task of installing a new Robbins convertible
top. I have managed to get the rear installed fine getting the seam to line
up with the rear bow with the window 4" above the rear sail panel. The
problem I face is both how to pull it tight to secure the front edge as well
as how to tighten up the sides as they seem to stay wrinkly (Theo I know
what you mean now). The Robbins top seems to have the side flaps sewn too
low and they bump into the 1/4's if I try to pull the top down further to
tighten it up. The sides at the rear edge of the side glass fit fine and I
was wondering if there is some secret technique to this. I will lay out the
instructions for others once I am done right down to how to line up the top
with the side glass. ANY HINTS?????
LAT HOOD I have been trying to get a hood from Aerodyne but I am not able to
talk to Kent I have talked to both his son and his dad but the number I call
is only answered intermittently. I was hoping someone might have a better
number that will actually reach him.
