    Series V Soft Top Vinyl Choices

    I'm going to guess the trimmer secured it behind the side strips.... I had the best trimmer in Australia fit a top on my SII in 1997. I had no top on it before as reference, but had given them the owners manual as a guide. The fitter clearly didn't look at it and secured it behind the side...

    Series V Soft Top Vinyl Choices

    If you want original you can buy a correct everflex top with the correct light grey interior. They make the interior feel much brighter and spacious with the roof up.

    Toms was adjustable, but the update in Dan's is the ball which should stop the galling of the moving component and allow pressure adjustment

    Carb advice needed

    Can't see the head in the photo but wonder if it's an iron head arrow motor.... Or . If it is an alloy head is the manifold from a arrow series car and it's facing the carb down 10° as the motor is now upright

    Shift Boot

    Brent there should be a recess in the base of the boot that goes over the edge of the hole in the metal shift cover that secures it... Also there are 2 styles of boot...not sure if that makes a difference as to how they stay on or not...
