    70-71 E-body Convertible Manual Top Hold Down INFO NEEDED

    I got a sample of a tempered material and the NYLON plastic heads came in. Put them together with rivets and success. I can bend the head back farther than needed to latch or unlatch and boing, sounds like a gitar string! It goes right back to original! Amazing what the right material can do! I...

    70-71 E-body Convertible Manual Top Hold Down INFO NEEDED

    So I got some rivets... Top one is a screw still. My rivet driver is too fat to fit in the area to drive the rivet in. Ill try thinning the driver in the conflicting area or modify the latch a tad to allow the driver to fit in. I'll have to make a proper shaped anvil to backup the rivet so to...

    70-71 E-body Convertible Manual Top Hold Down INFO NEEDED

    I'm working up a price for the spring metal and the plastic latch, rivets paint etc. Now for the tough part how much would you be willing to pay for a set of 2 pieces? This does not include the lower V shaped part that bolts to the body. The plastic would be white not yellowed like the OEM...

    Reproduction Part Question, I need your input

    The hollow end rivets are not too expensive . I also thought about a small plate with tapped holes to screw the screws into. Painted black it would be almost invisable.

    Reproduction Part Question, I need your input

    The a body guys are trying to talk me into rivets, I think I'll make it for a screw with the head where the rivet head is. That way if someone wants to rivet it on they can. And I expected a drop of lock tire would be a good choice. I make a lot of A body misc parts. And can make B,C,E body...
