Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 hood straps

We are nearing completion of Glady’s restoration.  Gladys is a 1967 BJ8.  We were forced into the restoration when a bunch of mice overran her while she was spending the winter in a trailer.  The top was one of the most severely damaged  parts of the car.   So much damage that I  had to discard the material associated with the top (the odor was outrageous).   Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of the top remains and I am now unsure of the placement of the grey straps that set the spacing for the frame pieces of the top.   

 

I have found a reference that describes the distances between each of the frame pieces, but I am not sure of which frame pieces have strapping between them.   I know straps go from the front piece (at top of windshield) to the second frame piece.  And, I know the straping continues to the third frame piece (where a clamping piece secures the strap to that piece.  However, I can’t remember whether, or not, the strap continues to the back piece secured to the top over the rear plastic window.

 

Can anyone tell me how to route the straps?  (or post a picture?)…

 

Thanks
