I have what I believe is a factory hardtop for my 72B. The problem is
that I need two L brackets that hold the window frame together. So far
all I can find is the whole window assembly which the cheapest I have
seen would have to be ordered from a firm in Baldock, England. Does
anyone know a source just for the brackets?

Don:

If it is a true factory h.t., it is probably worth about $1,000 in good
condition, possibly more.

You can tell if it is a real factory top by 2 things:
1 - a molded "W" in a raised circle at the center of the panel below the
rear window.  "W" is for Webasto.
2 - a pencil-written serial number under the chrome(?) trim piece I
think on
the left side behind the side window.  You have to remove the trim piece
to
see it.
