tonneau question

[healeyboz]

I got my tonneau today and the hardware that comes with it. I have two different kinds of fasteners. Lift a dots and tenax fasteners. There are four of each and I will have to use both unless I order more of one. Any suggestions to where these are supposed to go? I imagine that one kind is supposed to go in the back and the other goes in the front. Which ones go where?

It fastens just like the top. Tenax on the back and the little twist knob near the doors.
Lift the dots along the front, 1 on each side of the zipper and one on each end.

Only one lift a dot on the passanger side of the zipper on a bugeye, not one on each side of zipper.

That's what I was thinkin'--thanks fellas.

I did a little write-up for my web site when I replaced the Tonneau on the '66 Midget I had. You might find something of use here:

I used Ray's guide to install my tonneau a few weekends ago. Great stuff there, Ray!

Glad you could use it...always good to share.

Ray I added an extra snap on each side about 3" in back of the vent window. Seem to control the tonneau better at speed and also seems to help tonneau from puddling over the DS and PS.

I think that's a good idea, Jim.

I've noticed that even on my '73 Midget there's a place here and there that would benefit from another, but, because of the nature of the car, I won't add them. On my drivers I have no such qualm.
