Jase Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 I seem to have a TR5 windscreen surrond and my soft top header has the later locking arms. So my question is is this soft top frame a TR5 frame and hood or a modified 4A frame? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 With the door window seals on the sides of the frame its a TR5 one Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Thanks Stuart, so I order a TR5 hood when ready then? Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter V W Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Jason, How does it fit to the rear deck? Tr6 hood has zip down rear window, very handy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 There is no zip out window but I know this was taken to a hood specialist for fitting probably about 25 years ago. There are no poppers on the rear of the hood, more like spikes. I'll take a few more photos for clarity later. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctc77965o Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Stick with it...it's an upgrade for a 4A. Order a hood with the zip down rear window... This is proper sports car, no Surrey nonsense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peter V W Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Jason, Your deck fixings Look the same. A tr5 and 6 hoods are the same apart from a zip rear window. Looks like you have the correct fixing for a 5/6 hood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Great, thanks. Now I just need to decide on the material, Plastic or Mohair, whatever happened to Double Duck? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is possible to get hoods made in Double Duck but they do fade after a while, Vinyl is the easiest to live with and fold down easily (something you will need to learn to do properly to preserve the windows) Mohair looks nice but is bulky and also requires a fair bit of maintenance.
