- I have this odd problem when attaching the hardtop: If the rear locating brackets slide OK into their respective body retainers then the front fasteners fall a little bit "ahead" of their windscreen

- I suspect that the PO of my car had the same problem since the rear brackets are missing from my top. He drove the car 9 years with only the windscreen clamps and the side bolts holding the top on.

- Maybe you have a hardtop for an MGB? :-) FYI, aftermarket hardtops don't have the rear fasteners (later cars don't have the rear brackets anyway), so they only mount like you mounted your top. Works

- It could be you have a Hardtop for a MkII sprite or even bugeye. The MkIIIs have curved windscreens whereas the MkI & MkII have flat windscreens. Mike -- -- Mike Gigante mikeg@vicnet.net.au Watsons C

- According to the Production Trace Certificate from BMIHT, the hardtop I have is the one the car was shipped with, back in 1966, to its original dealership destination. This is all I know about MkIII

- My hardtop is the same way. When I got it, I had to tweak the front clamps to even grab the brackets on the windscreen. It had no rear clamping parts, and I had to fashion my own side clamps from so

- My bugeye hardtop seems to be a fairly decent fit on my MK2. Good enough for me to think about keeping it, as my Bugeye doesn't have a windsceeen to clip to. Besides, the rollbar might just interfere
