Colin, when we bought our tiger it had a new top installed but the lift a
dots were not put on. So I used a leather punch, the rotary type, that I
bought at Tandy Leather. I punched a big hole in the middle for the peg
and smaller holes around the edges for the bend over prongs on the lift a
dot. Worked great, just make sure you line up everything right first,
because once you punch the holes your commited. Regards Armand Ritchie
