Short answer: I can't get at the car right now to take a picture.
Longer answer: The cable tensioners have a hook at the end which connects
to the top frame. The frame has a (for want of a better word) boss on the
lower side at the front where the frame meets the top bow. The boss is
drilled and tapped for something like a #6-32 pan head machine screw. The
screw, with a washer, goes through the hook to hold the cable end to the
frame.
Even perfectly installed, there is a small gap between the top and the vent
frame/door glass at the front. It doesn't seem to create a problem in erms
of leakage, but then, I have driven a roadster in the rain in a long time.
Absence of the cable doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't have the
cables for my '67 2000, but I do on my '66 1600/U20. If I could find a
decent set, along with the brackets, I'd add them, but for form rather than
function.
