Title: Missing Hard Top Trims - where to source?
Post by: RobSirg on July 18, 2017, 15:50:53
Hi Guys,

I'm nearly 3 years into this restoration and it seems my worst fears have materialised in that I am now missing some parts (Chrome Trims) that I cannot source. Somehow between the guy stripping the Hard Top, the first guy doing the Chrome (I had to changeover), the 2nd guy doing the chrome, and the guy re-assembling the Hard Top - I am now missing a number of parts.
I'm really kicking myself as I was very careful with all other parts (taking photo's, etc) but I cant pinpoint who was responsible for losing these Hard Top components. A year has passed between strip down and rebuild and everyone denies losing the parts. I accept it was my fault for not managing it well enough. :'(

If you look at the attached diagrams I am missing 10 items in total which are :

#70 x 2
#71 x 2
#85 x 2
#86 x 2
#87 x 2

Does anyone know where I might be able to source these? I have seen a couple of them on ebay at crazy prices which doesn't really help unless i can find all of them. My only option at this stage is to purchase a complete 2nd Hand Hard Top - ship it to Australia, Strip it down and then possibly sell the parts I don't need.

p.s - Apologies - I realise I could have posted this in the "Wanted to Buy" section but I am in a bit of a bind and was hoping someone might know of someone who has Hard Top parts - Which is a lot of time effort and cost I am hoping to avoid.

Thanks in advance.

Rob

I might be able to help you. I have a couple of hard tops that are being used for parts so I should have some parts. I don't think that I have the ski rack chrome should you need that.

Thanks Dan - that's very comforting to hear you might have the parts,

I don't need the ski rack - just the parts I listed in my post.

I will give you a call on your number listed or send you a PM to take it further.

Regards,
