MG TD TF 1500 - 1/2 tonneau cover TD

Recently I bought a 1/2 tonneau cover from Moss. However, it came without instructions. I have to install studs and lift-the-dots in the bodywork and I assume also for the elastics on the front (studs in the backside of the seats?).
Can someone out there come up with the correct locations for the studs?

Thanks in advance!

Jasper, This is for a full but there is some info on a 1/2 and lift the dot installations.

Jasper,
Does the MOSS 1/2-tonneau have openings for the rear sidescreens ? And do they have the correct beige material too ? (I've ordered one at Anglo Parts which went straight back to them as it didn't even resemble an mg td cover let alone fit well...)

Gordon,
Is that the original location for the "lift the dot" fasteners on the back of the seat ? (Mine are on the heelboard)

Mike,
Strange that the MOSS pdf-file mentions the Clausager book whereas he in turn says the 1/2 tonneau was fitted with only four lift the dots on the outer body (as on the TC). Photo's from early roadtests invariably show just four lift the dots too....

Nick,

I ordered the 1/2 tonneau cover at Damen & Kroes in Boxtel and I believe he ordered if at Moss UK. When you take a good look at my pic you may see there is a rexine-strenghtened piece (on both sides). These are meant for the rear sidescreens, that is, I only have to make a stitch in the material to be able to use the sidescreens. But I do not intend to do so.
The elastic straps are black, not beige. But I don't mind. By the way, I did not know the straps should be beige.

Thanks for your quick responses. I'm always surprised how fast you guys are!

Just shows how much time these guys have on their hands this time of year. (grin)

Nick, I wrote 'stitch' but I meant 'cut'. The rexine or plastic strenghtened piece of material has a little stitched outline where I have to make a cut; the outline is located exactly above the insert in the body for the rear sidescreen.

Thanks Jasper for the info !
Just for the records a photo of my modest "Nuffield Collection"...

The actual ltd fasteners are quite far down the back of the seat out of sight in that photo....
