Michael-Sunbeam Specs have the complete rod and the spigot part
available as a high quality repo. I've recently purchased a set but for
some reason (which I'm sure is perculiar to my car) they are to long for
my top-ie the header rail sits to far forward and the catches don't clip
in, even when the rods are adjusted as short as possible. I suspect my
soft top catches just need some spacers under them or perhaps when I put
the windscreen frame back I left out a spacer at the rear (although the
door window gaps look good)-Hopefully I'll get a chance to look at the
top while my car is laid up for winter over the next few months.
