Chris C Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm considering getting a Half Hood but am unsure how it fits on to the car. Can the POBC tell me what the rear straps fit on to? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Monster Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 There are some tabs that fit beneath the legs of the roll bar which then clip to straps on the half hood pulling up through the gap in the boot cover If you check out the SBFS web site there used to be a picture/diagram on there - it really is incredibly simple to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 It is easy to follow via the link or sbfs website. If you get stuck give me a call Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Just fitted my first half hood & drove with it on tonight for the first time. I like it 🥰 Mine is silver or perhaps white & it felt like sitting in a noisy conservatory with the filtered light coming through the roof.

Clousta Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 In theory the straps will fit through/under the trailing legs of the roll bar and then clip to the 'tab' without the need for tools. However I needed to remove the bolts and refit to thread the strap through - not a big issue. I did find I had to purchase a longer set of Y-straps than were supplied. The trailing legs are attached much lower down in a live axle than the later de Dion (that Bruno (who else?) had when I bought the half hood off him). The longer Y-straps allow the Velcro on the ends of the straps to match up when the half hood is fitted and hence not flap.
