[Tigers] convertable top canvas straps

[Stu Brennan]

Happy Holidays to all!

I'm a few dozen miles south of Jim, and we have snow here too.  More 
Thursday.  So a little frost is nothing.

On my Mk1A (2452, built late summer of '66) I have the short strap between 
the two rear bows, the original, I believe, and one we replaced going to the 
front bow.  I used some furniture strapping stuff a friend happened to have. 
There must have been traces of the front strap there or we wouldn't have 
done it.  The only thing is, this may not prove much, since the previous 
owner had an Alpine parts car of unknown vintage , and the top may have come 
from that.

A Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the Tiger list.

It is cold here in Southern California.  By that I mean there was frost on 
the windshield of a car parked in my driveway.

I too have a late production Mk1A (2664).  I have only 1 strap going to the 
front bow. my front bow has only one stamped depression for the strap to 
mount in.
