Hi Allen,
Yes, there are right angle ali brackets that attach to the fibreglass
hardtop. The brackets have slots in them that the J hooks go through and
the Ali shaped nuts go on top. If you need a picture let me know.
PS. Make sure that the Ali shaped nuts are the correct thread and bolt size
for the j hooks....the ones that I got from Cape were not.
For the record, I find Cape useless for product support. I bought a
hardtop for them and couldn't get them to send me a picture of assembly.

Subject: [Healeys] hardtop mounting
I have purchased a nice set of J hooks, shaped aluminum nuts and a
reinforcement backer from
Cape Healey for my newly acquired hardtop. These pieces hold down the top
just
aft of the door. Problem is,
as I hold the pieces in my hands, they make about as much sense as the bits
to
a trafficator did before I
spent days putting one together. Can someone put me out of my misery with a
photo of how these mounting hooks
attach. there is obivously some sort of bracket that is not supplied that
goes
with the ensemble.
i believe the parts were offered as repros of the BN4/BN7 hardtop factory
clamps that hold down the top. my top is non-factory off a 100-4 (ca. 1960)
but has a hole drilled in the areas where the mounts should go.
I know this sounds like a Dear Abby from Clueless, but in this case I am
truly
clueless how to put this together.
Thanks
Allen Miller
