I brought a new hood for the TR7 as it didn't have one fitted on arrival. As such I didn't have any reference to start with. 

Checking the hood purchased from Don Trimming there is a couple of loops on the B post area do these fit through the hood frame?

Any one with hood photos would help.

 

Thanks Matt

Matt

If they are the ones at the bottom of the hood - as visible in this photo they are not connected to anything on mine.

If you check the folding instructions on the sunvisor you will see that the hood cannot be permanently connected to the frame since the side panels have to be folded at an angle across the back window before the hood cover can be fitted.

Cheers

That's a very good point Howard. I forgot the quarter lights have to un pop.
