TR2/3/3A TR3A TOP INSTALLATION

I've followed this forum for several years, but this is my first post. My TR3A, TS46221L, is essentially complete after a restoration started in 2007, if a restoration is ever complete.
I presently need a little help with a couple of issues:

1. A while back there were some very good posts on installing the hood/top, in particular at the windshield. I've searched, but can't find the posts now.

2. I know my fuel and vacuum line support bracket at the thermostat housing is not original/correct. Does anyone have a picture of an original bracket?

Any help is appreciated.
 
Well, there's always that!

Bo,just did my 20th tr3 top install.After all that experience, I came up with a new trick.We put a small portable electric heater in the car(curtains up)and let it warm up for about an hour.Then the top was quite easy to deal with.Of course you must be very careful to NOT over do it or melt anything.....
