Fitting Dart hood

Post by Andy Middleditch »

Hi.
Can any of you guys give me some advice in how to terminate the ends of these gutters on a Darts hood?
I'm at the stage I have the hood temporarily stapled to the underside of the wooden beam. I know I still have to fit a strip of mohair hood material on the hood-latch side where the metal hood frame screws to the wood but I want to understand how to tie these ends in before I start to fix it all down permanently.

Descriptions, instructions and photos all appreciated.

Thanks guys.
Andy Middleditch
