MG TA Hood fitting
I am about to tackle fitting a new hood supplied by Don Trimming.
They supplied small black nails to tack the hood to the rear wooden rail.
Has anyone used another method to attach the hood to the rear of the car?

Hi Martin,
yes, I used push on buttons, the advatage is, you can open the rear of the hood, when errected, to put luggage in

Wash your hands often if it's cloth.

Thanks Guys. Doug Pelton (FTFU) also suggested the push buttons.

Re: MG TA Hood fitting
Sorry, not the push buttons. Doug recommended brass screws with cup washers.
