Trumpy Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Hi , does anyone know if the hood stowage cover ( for when the hood is down) is the same for Tr4/5/6 . I see they are available for a 6 but no mention of 4/5 s . thanks . Dave . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter V W Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Dave, 5 and 6 soft tops are the same apart from a zip out rear window on the 6. My 5 has a 6 soft top and the 5 hood cover fits. TR4 soft top is different. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trumpy Posted July 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Thanks for the info Peter, my hood has a row of press studs along the rear edge which attach the tonneau cover , I assume these will also fit the hood cover . Rimmer’s have a cover for a Tr6 hood but it’s made to order so I need to double check it will fit , I guess no returns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ali King Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Dave, I recently bought one for my 4A from Don Trimming: http://www.donhoods.com/ They are the company that makes them (probably supply the big parts people?). The product was great quality and good value. The 4A has 7 'pointy' type studs along the back and 3 normal press studs along each side. Don Trimmings supplied the hood cover with the press studs and eyelets separate for me to attach myself. I guess thats because their position could vary slightly from car to car. I managed to fit mine using a simple drift/punch of the correct diameter and a hammer, with a piece of wood underneath to stamp out the holes, the studs/eyelets can then fitted and peened over quite easily. If your not sure which cover you need just give them a ring - they know their stuff. Ali. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ntc Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 The correct cover also has white piping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ali King Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Here's a pic - not perfect as it was difficult to cover the pointy bits of the hood frame! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trumpy Posted July 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Thanks folks , mine seems slightly different in that it has normal press studs along the rear edge . Pics attached. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes thats the difference between 4a and 5/6. 4A has lift the dot and 5/6 are press studs, if your buying a new one then usually there are none fitted so depending on what car your fitting it to you use the relevant fasteners accordingly.
