Dave,
Is that tonneau cover from AH Spares held on in the rear by the two chrome
escutions that normally hold the rear bar for the top. Did Bugeyes originally
have
a long tonneau that connected at the top of the dash and all the way back to the
same place as the top?
I've noticed some that have after market bayonet studs screwed in just behind
the
aluminium trim piece. Before we started the bodywork on my Bugeye, the holes
were
there behind the rear aluminium trim piece for the cockpit, but there were no
corresponding holes on the top of the dash! Figure that one out.
