The TR6 frame has pieces to help seal the side windows better, and the =
header rail seal differently, if you wanted to use the 4A top you would =
have to attach bits that go on the inside top front of the windshield to =
snap the header rail on, verses the pokey twisty things on the later =
tops.

I am pretty sure they attach the same at the back.  I remember my 4A =
having a lot more room behind the seats with the top down than the =
TR250, it is either my memory playing tricks, or the side window =
mechanism kind of eats into that useful space behind the seats because =
of how the top lays.  If I had to do it over again I would probably have =
fit a 4A top, because I mostly drive with the top down and seldom in =

me, plus I have a spare 4A frame in the rafters forever.

Howdy Folks

Are TR4A top frames and header rails interchangeable with TR6 top frames =
and header rails ?

They have different parts numbers - what is the difference?

Thanks,
Jack Mc
