I've just fitted a new tonneau to my BJ8 bought from AH Spares. It fits well and wasn't difficult to do unaided but I have a couple of questions. There are four flaps on the top, two short ones are covering slots where the seatbelts pass through when used as a half tonneau The other two, forward of the short flaps and about three times as long running across the car seem to have no aparent purpose. My questions are these.
1) Does anyone know what those longer flaps are for?
2) In the Clausager book, page 79, only the short flaps are shown as having snap fasteners whilst in the Haynes book, page 144, all four flaps have snaps. Which is correct.
3) The short side flap which runs across the top of the door to the lift the dot pin just behind the quarter light start from underneath the panel which runs around the rear to the tenax fastener just behind the door. Do they fasten in some way to that tenax pin or are they just tucked in? Clausanger book shows them looking just tucked in whilst Haynes book (Great cars, Austin Healey) Looks much more like they are fastened in some way.
Hope that is all clear and someone has the answers, maybe Randy has some photos!
Thanks
Ian
