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 =
metal 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

  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
