...or hood or convertible top? On my 64 the old top is in really bad shape, though the scaffolding looks fine. I'm going to need the soft material. I was given a BAS set H407, but reading the material it says it's for 69-71. What's the difference to the correct 64 one, some vendors have only one version, some talk about material in back window, some books talk about hinges/latches changing?
Working on a soft top is new to me (since my first car, a Spitfire MkIII), so any links to pdf etc is welcome
Thanks

I am sorry I dont know part numbers, but I can say that the series 1 hoods were covered in mohair. My recommendation would be to speak with BAS Jaguar Trim supplies in the UK as they will send to you samples I am sure. They supply the vast number of trimmers with material and will no for sure what the correct material is?

Steve, your answer was fine, but I have to do as you suggest, go to that website, check it out, not done yet.
My email is mh@pc.dk, not changed. I do check spam, not there either. Pop ups, I don't know, not deliberately...
The emails have worked flawlessly until this and my previous post. And I hate people taking the time to answer me, and I don't respond...

I did contact BAS, it's something about the fold at the bottom, so I could use both they said
