"HARD
TOP" INSTALLATION
Description
The
"
Hard Top
"
is of pressed steel construc-
tion, incorporating channel sections which are
spot welded to the main panel. These channels
considerably stiffen the assembly and also
accommodate the front and rear mounting
brackets. The sides of the
main
panel are folded
to form a
"U"
section which further strengthens
the construction and also serves as
a
means of
securing the drip channels and draught sealing
rubbers. The "Hard Top" is supplied
completely trimmed less the rubber sections and
the rear window light, all of which are included
in the kit for
fitting at a
final
stage.
The
"
Hard Top
"
Kit No. 900771 (less side

Caution
The fitting of
"
Hard Tops
"
to early
cars
may
present some
difficulty
due to the inconsistencies
of body dimensions,
a
feature not uncommon
with hand made bodies. Present manufacturing
methods make use of more elaborate assembly
jigs which result
in
the maintenance of close
body tolerances.
A
further cause of a badly
fitting
"
Hard Top
"
may be the result of bent
screen pillars which have become displaced by
heavy drivers or passengers pulling on
the
windscreen to remove themselves from the car.
When fitting, the
"
Hard Top
"
must be initially
positioned from the screen, it should be appre-
ciated, therefore, that any misplacement of the
screen itself will move the
"
Hard Top
"
out
of position at the rear of the car. No
difficulty
should be experienced with cars in normal
condition after Commision Number TS.6824.
