Hi all,
I am enjoying the miles on my recently completed TR4A. This weekend I replaced the heater valve with the four seasons valve, hopefully a robust solution. With the top up, my interior can get stiflingly hot - not bad for a heater core and fan that probably has not run in 20-odd years, if not longer (Texas car).
Which brings me to my question: how does the convertible top attach to the bows?
On the TR4A there is a strip of material that hangs down at the second from front bow. On the TR6, this is either riveted (earlier models) or snapped to the bow. (The TR6 has a second flap near the rear window, this is not present on the TR4A.)
On the 4A, is this flap riveted, snapped, or ā¦? to the bow? Iām not sure it is needed, as the rod does not flap at speed. But the flap hangs there, begging me to do something with it!
Thanks!
