[Roadsters] convertible top mounting - early 67 roadste

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Ken,

Attached are the same shots I sent to Dave Ranteer.  The end of the
"spring part" is clear in one photo; tucked up out of the way in the other.  I
don't have the spring parts nor the clips mounted on the body on my '67-1/2.
 I have the parts, but just haven't considered it important enough to get them
plated and put them on.

There is a brand of top called Hayes, or Haines, or
something like that, which is what I have on the '67-1/2.  It is canvas and
has a zip-out rear window, and I am thoroughly pleased with the top.  I also
have the same brand of tonneau, but am not as happy with its fit at the dash.
 Someone will no doubt respond to this message with the correct brand name.
 They have their own website, so you can buy direct from the manufacturer.  Or
I think you can get them through Dean.  I don't know what brand of cloth tops
Dann sells, but I 'm sure he offers a quality product.

Gary

Hi
Gary,
I can't speak for Dave, but I would like to see both.

I am in need of a
new top for my '67, and the current top does not even have the spring part.

Dave,
Are you talking about the main supports -- the parts to which the top
frame
attaches -- or the clips with the sprig wire attached?  (The wire runs
through
a channel in the top fabric just above the windows, and the hook end
attaches
to a tab on the top frame near the windshield.)  I can send pictures
of either
or both this weekend.

Gary

Hi, all.
soon i'll stop bugging you - i'm going to finish the car in the
next week or
so and take it up to the upholsterer to have the interior
redone (done) and
the top put on. i'm in need of pictures at the B pillar
where the convertible
top support/tensioners/mounts are.  I have them
installed, but I have no idea
what to do with them.  can anyone send me
some pics on how they go together
that I can print out for the
upholsterer?  I WILL be driving that car this
spring!!!!! thanks! dave

Dallas
