Triumph TR3 - fastners for side curtains-tr-3

I am a tr-3 rookie and cannot find the answer to a question. I am searching for the name of the fastners on the bottom of the side curtains used to attach curtains to the outside of the car, i.e. the "drape" portion. Can you help?

Parker - It depends on your Commission Number. My TR3A is an early 1958 TR3A built in February, 1958. The Comm. No. on mine is TS 27489 LO.

I have side curtains that have an aluminium wedge on the bottom of each support that slides into 2 chromed adapters on each door. Mine are similar to the TR2 and the TR3. The later TR3A's had a modification where the side curtain is held onto the door with a Dzus fastener.

Mine are held at the bottom of the flap on the side curtain which is flexible with 4 "lift-a-dot" fasteners onto chromed pegs on the door which also hold the tonneau cover.

The later TR3A's have a strap on the inside and the lower portion of the side curtain is rigid.

The snaps on the bottom of mine are the "Lift-A-Dot" fasteners. I think that's what you are asking ????
