CMP Rear cabin canvas curtain
"There is a metal strip above the inside of the rear window opening, which has two small metal hooks. I haven't looked closely at this, but guess it was some way of securing a canvas cover, in a rolled up position?!?!"
Hi Tony, This is the curtain that attaches to that metal strip. Top of the photo is the bottom of the curtain. There is a pocket on the bottom of the curtain in which a metal strip fits into it. The bottom of the photo is where it ripped off that bar above the rear window opening. The canvas is sandwiched between the two metal strips on that upper bar. My good wife sewed me up a replica of it many years ago and I think I still have the drawing with the dimensions if anyone wants it. It may have been done before by someone else however. Cheers,

Roof brackets
The two straight roof brackets have a short leather strap with buckel attached with bolts.
On the inner edge of the roof opening is another leather strap to secure the canvas when rolled back.

Ford v Chev
The difference between the Ford and Chev sunshine roof is the rear lash points. Ford has a cast style bracket and chev has a folded sheet metal with brass eyelet.

Thanks Euan. I'm hoping to get it blasted next week, and then make the minor panel repairs the following Sunday. I put 2 hours into removing the paint and crud from the two wingnuts. Used an old toothbrush and hand cleaner as the grit. They are a nice rough cast surface, so straight sanding would have ruined that.

It is only my best guess but they could have been used to lash it down to prevent flapping or keep rain out as they point almost directly to the external cleats on the lower rear corners of the cabin. I could be miles out and perhaps someone else in the forum can confirm or correct me. Keith? Euan? Cheers, Jacques
