Biba - My top/frame is off right now being refurbished. Al local Austin Alfa guru is handling it and he has restored several top frames and installed tops on 69's. We'll inspect the joints together to determine what needs doing there. The refurbish should be done in 2 weeks and the top will go on thereafter. Will advise. Have you found boattail tops to have side cables? Mine did not but I'll fit them on the new top.
See link photo #5 for latest interior shot. Still have not put the brackets on the shoulder belts. They work well hand have stopped me flying forward on hard braking. All that's left in the interior is the new rear drape with the new top.
Osso - like Biba said, the top CAN BE done sitting with one hand but you have to fold the quarter panels to avoid damage. Perhaps all those elastic straps Wilie is discussing/showing brings that floating bow back, but you still need to fold the quarters in. Bruce
