1937 TA hood

Post by bergxu » Wed Aug 16, 2023 6:39 pm

Hello gents,

So I’ve acquired the red ‘37 TA of which I had a thread on here about a month ago. The hood is in okay condition but I’d like to replace it. As I am in possession of a brand new Robbins canvas hood from my TC days, I was wondering if anyone knows if this will work on a TA?

Cheers,
Aaron

Can't speak for a Robbins hood, but the TA and TC hoods are virtually identical in size and shape. I've made a lot of them.
The shape on the rear bottom of the hoods for very early TAs is a bit different.

Thank you Tom. This car is s/n 1795 so hopefully it’s after the change. I’ll overlay the new hood over the one on the car (which dates from 1985 and was made by Don Trimming in the UK) and report back my findings.

Cheers,
Aaron
