Tony,
That bar came from an MGB but I'm guessing they are virtually the same. The only difference was the MGB Bar is approximately 2" wider. Used a pipe cutter to make a perfect straight cut to narrow the bar. The flat stock section did not fit into the Spridget tonneau bracket, hence I cut a very small 1/8" deep x 1/8" or so wide notch at the front of the bar so I could slide in at an angle and lean back the entire assembly. With that little cut in there the entire bracket hit in with a positive lock. Again I added a safety catch / cotter pin that I could just pull out to remove/ It also prevented the wind blocker from going airborne at 70 mph as it departed the car.
This is an interesting engineering challenge. And not really difficult to do. Without a Spridget or MGB Tonneau bar, one can do the same thing with aluminum and steel bar stock.
