I might try zooming up the picture on the modify site and going by that I recon the “magic glue they use to hold the wire in is super glue, will have a go tomorrow and post up the results.

Loftust you have PM. your box is full!

Dont supppose you remember the length rivet to rivet and is it at "maximum tension" with the roof up? I hope to do a copy of (sorry tribute to) the modify system tomorrow so if you can remember it would be a help I'll post up a how to when done.
Rich where did you get it from? I want to sort mine out asap as its annoying me!

Floppy , if only I had read this earlier , Mrs C says she has this stuff in her vast stocks of haberdashery stuff. The great british Sewing Bee is not a patch on our house !
