I am reassembling the latch mechanism for the metal top boot that covers the convertible top when it's stowed. Does anyone know where the triangle shaped pieces in the attached photo go?


Thanks,

Bill

I am far from an expert, but I believe the parts you asked about are the hinges for the back panel. They go in the lower corners of the panel and are affixed to the body with pivot bolts. See Plate D--Section YX of the Alpine Parts Manual...Part #s 201 & 202. If you do not have the manual you can get it online at the TU site. Link to the manual table of contents follows.

My Tiger is not here right now so I can not forward a photo.

Perhaps one of the more knowledgeable members will confirm this or provide a photo.

I think this is where the widget goes. See attached photo. It centers the large bin cover against the side pieces and makes the latch catch on both sides.
