Can you identify thisTonneau with petty strut flap application?

Hi

 

Can someone more learned confirm whether the tonneau in the linked pics below

 

Tonneau linky

 

features a petty strut flap position for:

 

a) Safety Devices/Arch (single diagonal roll bar) petty strut position

 

or

 

b) Caged (double diagonal roll bar) petty strut position

 

I believe/fear it is the former as it apparently dates from 2000 era, and understand there is a difference??

Not sure isn't it left hand drive though?

Definitely not left hand drive.

Looks similar to mine - 2000 Arch imperial chassis - single diagonal roll bar.

99% sure that is the hole/flap for the Arch petty strut, and if its from 2000 it would be. I could measure/photo tonight and show pics of the two locations if you want to confirm absolutely. I decided to cut a hole in my tonneau to fit the Caged strut for sprinting.

 

(Shameless plug: my tonneau is still for sale as I now have a full cage, open to offers before it goes on ebay. The home made second hole is in the right place for a padded caged petty strut)

Thanks everyone, I don't think it's necessary to go to further trouble as the consensus in strongly towards pre-caged era roll bar/strut vintage ie: single diagonal bar/strut.

 

The tonneau is actually being offered for sale by Roger in the ForSale forum if anyone is interested.

 

Thanks again
