You need to remove the vertical panel spot welded into the rear of your SV.. then find the original balm pivots for the front of the side covers.. the tabs for the hinges for the rear of the side covers... The rear vertical panel and its hinges
It's been done... Depending on your fabrication skills.. a better way ( cleaner but more effort.. probably why rootes didnt do re cost... ) would be to get the side covers and fit them... Cut down the rear panel and hinge off the top of the SV section.. that way you can get the clean metal cover look... And still open the soft top while stuff is in the back... Will be a bit of a fiddle putting the top up and down still per the original
