RobRennie Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Hi All, Are the roof poppers in standard places on the cars- or custom / uniquely fitted. The reason I ask is I need to replace my hood cover, can I buy a second hand one that already has the poppers on? Thanks all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel Triumph Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Perhaps the factory originally fitted them to a standard pattern, but over the years I've had a couple of Spitfire Mk3s with poppers in different places. My current TR6 cave with a tonneau whee the poppers didn't match up. My impression is that hood popper positioning is not consistent, whether from the factory, or subsequent replacement/restoration.

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 The 3 down each side were jig fitted by Coventry Hood and Sidescreen to the hood and frames assy when the cars were in manufacture. The ‘buck’ looked like the top of a TR, ie screen frame rear deck and doors. The ones across the back are governed by the piercings in the rear deck retainer bar.
