[Tigers] hard-top, soft-top shim

[michael king]

Jim,

I have seen them.. and have them on the cars... there are slightly
differentones for SI/II and the later cars. When we converted my dads SIVGT
into a soft top we didnt have those.. so we foded a thin bit of ally over
but only 1/2 along its length.. that gave it the wedge to adjust the
clamps. Later we got a pair fo a wrecked car.

I would be surprised if they went for much money... if you need a pair I
can put you in ocntact with peoepl stateside that will have them and be
reasonable about it.
