Creig,

I doubt Triumph changed the top attachment for the 76 year since it was 
their last. My 72 is attached with that steel bar/plate that is bolted 
to the body. Top cannot be removed without removing those bolts. Sounds 
like this is a TR4 or 4A setup. How does it attach to the windshield? 
Same as on a 6?
