HI Listers!  Yes its me and I'm home for spring break working on the 
spitfire as any good student should.  Anyway I've fixed some annoying 
problems like the alternator not charging the battery etc.. and now I 
want to put my soft top on.

I've never had the softop on nor have I seen another spitfire with one 
on.  I have a Robbins top that I have cleaned and shined up that seems 
to be in great condition.  Its on the frame and now I just have to put 
it on.  As usual Haynes was oh so helpful with about 10 words on how to 
take the "hood" on and off.

The part that looks odd is the back plate that screws into the rear 
deck.  It seems to me that it would scratch the paint.  Am I missing a 
pad or something?  Besides that plate I assume you just bolt the guy in 
there.

Any suggestions and or comments are welcome.
