Hi,

I purchased a panel kit from Moss Motors, and I need some help
figuring out where the snaps for the pieces that cover the top frame
go. There are 3 pieces that hide the top frame - two identical side
pieces and a back piece

Looking at some pictures in Piggot's book, it looks like the side
pieces have 4 snaps. 3 towards the front of the car, and one on the
rectangular tab. I am assuming that 2 snaps are mounted on the quarter
panel (the boomerang shaped piece that goes over the wheel well), and
I noticed I have a male snap on my top frame. Is this the correct
placement? Is the male snap for the rectangular tab get mounted on the
wheel well?

The rear top cover has 2 flaps on the bottom with 2 brass rings on
each flap. What does this connect to?

The cloth webbing on my top bows is currently held in place with the
screws that attach the longer lift the dot connector. This works now
because I have no panel kit installed. How is the webbing supposed to
attach to the back of the car? Does it use a lift the dot connector,
and then the top lift the dot connector just sits on top of it?

Thanks in advance,

Mark Vaden
