Most Rootes parts are over engineered for strength and longevity.

There are 2 tensions cables.
Are you sure you need them for a Mk 1A frame. My early Mk 1A uses =
Velcro
along the side rails instead of the cables.

You need the Alpine Parts List to show those parts. See =
TigersUnited.com
and look for the Tiger and Alpine Parts List there.

Notch is for webbing that pop rivets to the header and the bows with =

plates.

My cover plates are Machine Gray.

Write ups - TE/AE web site should have one but not sure.
There was a video on the web for folding the top correctly - not sure if =
it
is still there or if I can find it again

Subject: [Tigers] Over Engineered Soft Top
Well, we started on the soft top frame for the 66 Mk 1A. Would you say =
this
is a over engineered, complicated set up?=20
The tension cable and retainer spring, which I have neither, where does =
the
retaining spring attach to? The from collar, I believe attached to the =
Peak
rail. Are there 2 tension cable, one on either side?
The peak rail or header rail looks to have a notch in the center with
several holes to hold something here - what? The Rootes manual section =
O
body does not show anything.
The cover plate, RH and LH, - are they suppose to be machinery grey =
painted
like the frame or chrome as received from SS?
Are there any good write ups with pictures on soft top frame and top
installation? I have not been able to find anything.
Pictures on the entire top set up would be greatly appreciated. My =
little 3
stop light town does not even know what a Sunbeam is other than a =
blender,
so going to look is not possible.
Regards
Joel Martin
