Fibreglass Backlight Frame kit, strengthened internally, supplied without a window for use where an integral roll over bar is not wanted. Suitable for TR4, 4A, 250 and TR5, can also be fitted to TR6.

RTR7153 series TR4-6 Standalone Backlight Frame.
 
These Standalone backlight frames have no Roll Over Bar (ROB) - see below for more information on this - and are a fibreglass facsimile of the original backlight frame, attaching to the body in the same way as the original aluminium part. These backlight frames include the internal bosses to accept the stainless steel finishers through which a surrey top or hard top is attached (these are omitted on the versions where a ROB is used).
We supply this part in 4 versions: -
RTR7153  Standalone backlight frame, untrimmed. This backlight frame is completely bare and is supplied without a 
Window or fittings.

To clarify the correct description of Hardtops and Surrey Tops, although the general arrangement of fixed rear window with removable roof panel is generally referred to as a 'Surrey Top' car, this is in fact not correct. The cloth section, which replaces the roof panel, is the 'Surrey Top'. The rear window and frame is called the 'back light` and the roof panel is self-explanatory.
Revington TR has developed an ingenious new Backlight design, which incorporates a ROB. The Backlight frame is made from fibreglass, but uses for its strength an integral ROB with two backstays. The bar fits right up inside the fibreglass frame, thus affording maximum rollover protection, along with better rear visibility than with any other rollover bar available for use with a fixed backlight. The legs of the main hoop extend to the floor, whilst two rear stays attach to the top of the rear wheel arches. The main hoop is bolted to the 'B' posts too for added rigidity. Surrey tops and the roof panel can be used in the normal manner.
Whilst the arrangement is much stronger with a ROB incorporated, Revington TR also offer the 'standalone' fibreglass back light frames which are listed here. They are constructed with much thicker fibreglass and do not need a ROB. It should be noted that this configuration is not as strong as the original aluminium and certainly nowhere near as strong as the ROB supported configurations which are sold under the part number series RTR7122 which are listed below as well as the two full cage versions we supply. 
 
Please Note: This arrangement has successfully been fitted to TR6 as well, see photos.
