Q: What is the correct definition of a Hood, a Hood Cover a Tonneau and a Surrey Top?
A:
We appreciate that our English terminology (French actually in the case of Tonneau) can sometimes be confusing. Here are our definitions of a Hood, a Hood Cover a Tonneau and a Surrey Top.
In our modern world of global trading terms we use for
products can be confusing. The products in question here are particularly
confusing as for example a hood to us in the UK is the cloth bit over your head,
yet in the USA it is the bit over the engine (a bonnet to us). This FAQ should clear matters up.
A HOOD is the cloth part of the complete hood assembly that goes over the Hoodstick assembly from the rear deck to the top of the windscreen. Confusingly Triumph in some parts books refer to the hood as a hood cover. This is also often referred to in common language as a Soft Top.
A HOOD STOWAGE COVER is a tidy cover over the hood and hoodsticks (hoodsticks only in the case of TR2-3A) when folded away and sits around the back of the cockpit attached to the rear deck. A TR4 does not need one as the hoodsticks are folded behind the cockpit rear squabs. Most Triumph parts books refer to the stowage cover as a Hood Stowage Cover Assembly but in everyday language this cover is often simply refereed to as a hood cover.
A TONNEAU cover goes over the whole cockpit from the rear deck to the base of the windscreen and zips up the middle so it can be used whilst driving or as a complete cover whilst parked.
A SURREY TOP is the cloth part only fitted when the hard centre panel is removed from a hart top TR4, 4A, 250, and 5.
