Hi Brian, those small hooks look like they would work, but from my understanding, the original “hooks” were a single bolt hole item. Oh, it’s quite interesting that there is so little documented information or photographs of the hard tops fitted with the original clamps, etc. Seems because these pieces are so hard to find, many are having to manufacture things to fit. I may be interested in the hooks you have. I just need to trial fit my hard top and see how far the reach is on the clamps, whether their adjustable screws on each side work correctly or whether the clamps in their current condition are too fragile to use. I really appreciate everything you’ve shared and I will come back to you once I know where I stand. I’m going to put another question on the forum about fitting the hard top, and where the rubbers go, if you have details to share on that too, please. Happy motoring. Thank you, Adam
Adam SingletonParticipantHi Brian, thanks for your reply mate. Yes, totally understand that you need yours. I took a punt as they were photographed on a sheet of white paper so hoped that they were a spare pair. It’s strange that there appears to be two types of latches used. Perhaps the ones with the eyelet bolt holes that you have were a UK delivered item, and the latches with the hooked ends were an export type. It appears that the latches I have are the same as a friend in the USA’s hardtop. He had to get the C-pillar attachments machined up. I may need to do the same. Appreciate your knowledge and advice. Thank you, Adam
Adam SingletonParticipantHi Brian, thanks very much for your reply. Yes, I have the two 2-No locating clips on the hardtop leading edge so all good there, as they are on my soft top. Not sure why a PO put a central clamp / clip on mine, but I will remove this before getting the headlining recovered.
It appears I am missing the connecting pieces that bolt to the side c-pillars to receive the hardtop “hooks” on each lower side. Are you by any chance selling these clips that you’ve shown in the pics? They seem to be slightly different hardtop connectors to the ones I have on this roof, and I can see the bolt holes that attach allow for attachment to the c-pillars in your pics. Regards, Adam -
