  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Working on this puzzle...does it appear than I am missing any major components? Or is there an exploded view of this mess that is available? I have no idea what bolts go where, etc...

    I am replacing the cylinders, hoses, and pump...so they are not pictured.

    You're welcome, Adam. It looks like it's mostly all there. You need the latches, there's a long retainer channel for the 1st bow I don't see, and all the bushings, wave washers, bolts, and the special adjustable frame link bolts.

    Adam,
    make sure the tack strips are in good condition before you install on the car.

    I found the retainer channel in the pile of trim. I also have a coffee can of bolts and bushings and washers...also bought a pivot bolt set. Hopefully that will put me in good shape.

    How did you make out with this?? Yes I know , old thread, but I just found my hand drawn diagrams and measurements of all the bushings and bolts etc from when I put my top together years ago and was trying to find replacements.

    A local club member had an intact top frame that I was able to borrow and reassemble mine correctly.
