[Tigers] Soft top boot

[John Crawley]

Graham:
On my car I sewed the soft-top-boot to the vinyl that covers the metal trim
around the back of the cockpit. I then covered the metal trim and pressed the
metal points through the soft-top-boot. The sewing takes the strain and the
metal pins through the boot look original.
Godspeed
