I have two questions about Spitfire hardtops. There is a tie down bar
that bolts to the convertible top bracket behind the doors. What is
the size of that bolt? I am pretty sure it is 5/16 but I tried a
coarse thread and a fine thread and neither seemed to work. Of course,
it could be that the threads are just messed up.
Dear Roger,
I can't be sure off the top of my head, but 5/16" UNF sounds about right
to me.
Also, is there supposed to be a piece of trim that goes along the back,
bottom edge? My top has what almost looks like snaps - but they are
smaller- on the outside edge, but I can't figure out what would go
there unless it is a piece of trim that slides over them.
Good guess. That is exactly what goes there - a piece of chrome trim.
These are difficult to track down. It took me a couple of years to
find one, and then I had to pay an enormous amount of money for it.
Unless you are obsessed with originality (as I am), don't worry about
it. It is purely decorative.
