Latches for the top

[Brett Proctor]

What are the latch down points for the top?
I know about the tee handle latch but is there another place on the top and body that locks down the top.
It looks like there was some thing next to the passenger and driver that held the top close. Pictures would help all so.
Originally I was going to just rebuild the car but now I'm thinking about restoring it back to its 70's condition so I'm trying to see if I can still find parts from that era. So far I'm finding alot of it. Its just back in the UK

Thanks
Brett

Mine had buckle style latches just behind the tail end of the dash wings. 1 per side.

Yep, for manual lift tops (springs only), there would be a set of suitcase-style latches on either side. As hydraulics took over the lifting operation, those latches were usually left off since the hydros would have enough pressure to keep the canopy solidly closed.
