Find out how the rear of a Frogeye's soft top is held in place. The bonnet wiring is tidied up and the rear bar for that convertible top is reshaped.
There's also a quick introduction of what to expect in the next couple of videos... there will be a slight change of pace.

I thought so too! Ended up paying more for the nuts, bolts and washers to put it all together than I did for the shelves!!
Very cool, also looking forward to the hard top restoration. It vaguely resembles mine, next time I'm at the storage location, I'll share a photo of it.

Ian, you pulled out one of your magic tricks! Great work and will it truly make the soft top keep the cold/wet elements out.

Thanks Dan.
Very ingenious of you Ian. I was holding my breath when you were bending that bar. That’s a nice top you have. What brand did you buy?

Thank Gareth. I got the top from Prestige Auto Trim... tinyurl.com/29t9rux4
Did you ever determine from your research if there were two or more versions of the hood retaining bar or if yours was just by a previous owner? None of mine had had that issue, so I was curious if what you learned.

All I've learned so far is that the bar that came with the car was the incorrect profile. In looking at the Moss catalog the bar they list is only for the later tops so I assume there is a different one for the early cars.
Just don’t use the roof!! I never did. Hated it…

I did have to learn a new set of contortions to get in and out with the roof on! Typing this I remember one of your videos driving Fred somewhere in a torrential downpour... from my viewpoint the worst wasn't the rain itself but the big splashes from passing lorries!
