66 Convertible Frame Hardware

Post by 65CLNTE »

Well, I finally got started pulling the remants of the original convertible tatters off the frame; sending the pieces off to get prepped and painted. I noticed that several levers and arms of the convertible top are joined with non-factory bolts and nuts. Looks like someone raided the spare parts jar in their garage. It also looks like the passenger side main rear arm has been replaced with a 67 piece, a butchered one at that.

Moving on, I'd appreciate if any convertible owners could take close-up photos of the convertible top frame, specifically the connections, joints, etc. and email them to me. I've never seen anyone selling that hardware, but at least I'd know what I'm supposed to look for.

Many thanks
