Cantrails for Series II

[8300LJ]

I have managed to get hold of a pair of cantrails for my Series II but can not work out how they fix to the front of the windscreen. I would be very grateful if someone could let me know or better still post a photo.

Thanks,

Dean.

There should be a turnbuckle on the windscreen frame that penetrates the cantrail and is locked in by twisting the turnbuckle.

Is it on the chrome windscreen frame or folding soft top frame?

Think I know the style of fixing you mean by turn buckle.

Oops. my bad.

Turnbuckle is on the soft-top frame header.

Thanks for you speedy replies, I can see two holes each side on the soft top frame header so guess that's the place for the turn buckles. Pretty obvious to use turn buckles now that you have pointed it out.

Don't suppose you know if there should also be webbing each side between the soft top header frame and middle bow? As there is a bit of a dip on the reverse side of the header frame where the turn buckles will be, and also a dip on the middle bow. I did see someone had put a photo of a piece of webbing between the two in a photo on an earlier thread but someone else had said it should not be there.

Just ran out to the garage and took these. Hope they help! One is where it attaches to the top/hood frame, one shows where it goes along the edge of the top/hood, and one shows how it clips onto the back edge of the top/hood frame. The last pic shows it on the other side. There are two pieces on the top/hood that wrap around the cantrails and snap on. I have them unsnapped for the pics...

Thanks so much, that is a great help. I can see just what I need to do.
