John B Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Can anyone help me re. the H frame fit on my new GRP backlight & surrey top fit. I'm puzzled on how the rear tension mechanism works on the rear of the H frame. Do I need to drill 2 holes in the new backlight to accommodate the tensioning part of the frame so the nut/washer can be moved in or out or does the nut just presses against the backlight? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John B Posted June 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Thanks Stuart, it looks like I have to drill the holes in the forward edge of this GRP backlight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have a look to see if theres a dimple in the front face to guide you, Ive only had them before that already had the holes in them. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It has the holes in the correct place for both the roof attachment and the adjuster nut. I also make a more convenient adjuster nut if you are interested. (ignore the knurl quality - it was an early trial) Roger Edited June 16, 2022 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
