    doing a new hard top

    I will get back with you after I measure them. I got two guys started on the project and started working on the starter. I will have to double check and get back with you. Just shooting from the hip, they look to be about 2" bolts or so.

    doing a new hard top

    There is a place in nearby Seguin that overhauls large vehicle starters. Found that an A3 starter is roughly $200 bucks more than a A2 starter so we wanted to at least see if they can rebuild or get parts first. As far as the hard top install, worked out great. We went ahead and drilled the...

If you look at the photo, you will see that I have about 1/2" to play with on the drive'rs side window frame before it gets to be where it needs to. However, to get the two holes to line up, looks like I...

    doing a new hard top

    I am having some issues getting the front part of the hard top to settle down correctly on the window frame to where it is square. I think I know why the old -A2 had the bolts drilled all of the way through the frame, but I would like to avoid doing that if at all possible. This is why I am...

    doing a new hard top

    The "pins" that you mention in this post....are the on the outside of the hard top or under the front "brow" where it fastens to the window? About how long are they? Our hard top that came off of our -A2 had bolts drilled through the window frame (both top and bottom of the frame) to hold down...
