Is this an A lid?
Just checking to see if I have this one right. Is it an A lid?

Re: Is this an A lid?
It looks like an A lid having crimped cross-bars; I don't re-call when the tubular cross-bars which spacers between them and end-nuts
to be bolted into the lid became available.

I wasn't sure if there were differences between A and T5. There is the three digit number "135" but no idea what model. If we can't find an owner, it will be sold.

Late A and T-5 lids have the same part number.

Re: Is this an A lid?
Just to add a bit more to the fitment. It is a Coupe lid and won't fit any open 356.

Thanks Jim. Yes I picked up on the non-fitment in open cars.

The 3-digit 135 could be the last 3-#'s of the chassis #.

So Brad the early A's (e.g., T1) may have a different lid?Brad Ripley wrote:Late A and T-5 lids have the same part number.
