The front cab area parts are the same for 88 & 109. It's the hoop configuration which changes.

You may well be right. This gives a good indication though of what should be there.

I wish I knew who to credit that table to - I think it was a S2C member in days past.

General Discussion / 109 soft top
Last post by Bigdog - Today at 08:02 PM
Probably a silly question but would the series 2a 88 rails fit a series 2a 109, thinking of removing my roof for the soft top, it's just the part that goes above the door that fits to the windscreen, hopefully this makes sense, thanks

Quote from: diffwhine on Yesterday at 04:43 PMThe double ended nut would be more period correct, but you have a number of options.

You can have a single sided nut of the same size, or you can go to the later format which gives you a larger wheel nut but same thread. Less risk of pull through on an old knackered rim.

I'm not quite sure that table is correct as I understood military series 1's used the single taper type and civilian ones used double tape.
I may well be wrong...

Today I had a wire wheel and red oxide primer session on the rear crossmember as it was starting to be a bit scabby.

Can't remember where I found it, may have been farcebook, but here's a doc with examples for very early 2a lightweights in GS and FFR.
