Hi
Doug,
Thanks for your help.This really is a DIY job that any one can do .It really
works and brings back the pleasure of open top motoring even on chilly days.John
Douglas and Jenn asked to see a picture of it and if you think others would find
it helpfull I am happy for you to publish the pictures.
I made a cardboard template to fit behind the wall seperating the cabin from the
folded hood ( checking that the hood could be raised without taking down the
cardboard )
The template was then drawn on a piece of 7mm-8mm plexiglass and the
shape cut out. The plexiglass " lugs " that fit down either side
of the hood cover catches was drilled and fixed to the back of the wall. It was
at this point I realised that wall angled the wind stop away from
the hood cover.The wind stop was taken to my daughters college where the "
tech. dept." had a machine which was able to heat the plexiglass across the
lugs which also corresponds to the top of the wall and allowed it to be bent at
aprox 20deg angle. I refitted it and stuck a strip of draught excluder along the
edge of the the hood cover to make a neat rattle free finish.
The only cost was for a sheet of plexiglass and a pizza for my daughters help.
If any one needs more specific info or more photo,s they can e-mail me direct.
Best regards
Jim Parker
