Default T-top Parts ?

Today I was attaching the four chromed parts that are in the center t-tops when I noticed that two had no plastic liner in them.These are the reciever parts that the spades on the t roofs slide into.I have checked various corvette suppliers but see no listings for this part.If I were able to get these parts it might eliminate one or more of my rattles.Any direction would be helpful . Thanx Brent

Try Brad at the Vette Shop in Beachville, ON. 519-423-1967 he has links on almost everything.

Good Luck

I just bought the "T-Top Re-Furb Kit" from Eckler's; PN 38123 for $24.99. It contains the nylon sleeves, stabbers, screws and plastic covers for the studs.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to sell the nylon sleeves for the "stabbers" separately; but you may want to call them (1-800-327-4868) and ask. . .

I searched around for the nylon bushings that slide into the 'halo' or roof behind your head for weeks. Short of buying a complete kit fo 30 bucks, I found the parts at Carlisle, $1.00 ea.
My advice is to try junkyards or local swap meets.

Check out Dr. Rebuild catalog. I bought a set from him about a year ago. His catalog has lots of stuff you can't find anywhere else

I was talking to brad and he said that he can't find seprate inserts. But he has the brackets that bolt on and the inserts are in them. So if you want them give him a call and let him know which ones you need.
