The lift a dot thread prompts me to ask this question.
Can anyone point me at a diagram as to the way of folding the hood canvas on an AG tourer (6ft3" Chassis, Chummy style steel body & doors) And how does it stay folded? Is there a hood cover to make it look tidy?
The A7 Companion shows how it is done on a Speedy, a cabriolet & a "two seater sports model", but no tourer - interestingly it shows where to stow the sidescreens,(right at the back, folding the rear seat -back out of the way) sadly the bit of wood with its cunningly drilled holes shown is long gone on my car. On the other hand that must have been for the long chassis cars with their massively increased space in the back (HO HO!) My seat back is fixed, only the squab lifts out.
Also how are the hood irons held down? I imagine a strap, but is it loose or fixed to something? I have some side curtains that appear to be almost unused, just grubby. I have yet to make a trial fitting (can't have all my excitement at once!)
Picture shows how it arrived from USA with liberal use of string!
