Hi,

Do you have a photo of an example piece?

Having a solid top on mine means I'm not 100% familiar with the fixings for a T top car.

Thanks

All I've managed to find so far is this post off 78ta forum.

http://www.78ta.com/HTAF/index.php?topic=37942.0

It appears that f body warehouse used to sell them as there is a link in that post but when you click it, it says the product is unavailable. A quick search on f body warehouse reveals nothing.

I'll keep looking!

My best advice (due to the fact these seem like the proverbial rocking horse crap) would be to contact Tony at Pontiac Parts. He deals in second hand and some new 2nd gen parts only and is likely to have these as he has broken a lot of 2nd gens over the years.

He does take some time to get back to you on occasions but he is still active as he has eBay listings running now.

Probably best to ring the mobile number which is shown on the home page of the site.
