Last mod before hitting the road - advice
Hi all.
I am almost ready to bring out my car. All I have left to do is to fit the t tops from a 79. (mine is a 76) I bought the pin receiver hardware that goes in the doorframe, but it doesnt match up (surprise). Do I get the drill out? is there an easier fix? Will the pin find and use the existing hole (where the triangular bolt was)? Do I abandon the project and enjoy the summer without the blue glass tops?
Thanks for any advice
Bill

I am thinking of drilling a hole through the triangular bolt so that it will serve as a sleeve for the t-top pin when I put on my glass t-top and still work with my original 69 t-top.
