Default T-Top adjustments

Hi all,

I'm trying to adjust my new T-Tops on my 1980 and I was wondering if anybody could help me by posting a pic of the spacing between the two tops and the distance between the tops and the body. Especially, a pic of the roof lock plate and t-top gap...

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Rob

Willcox,

The info is great and will definitely help me out. I'm a manufacturing engineer and I prefer the assembly schematics over pics. That's great!!

I have another question. I bought the T-Tops from Melrose T-Tops and it seems that the extension pin is fixed, unlike the OEM design that can be adjusted by turning the end.

I'll give them a call to confirm this today.

Thanks,
Rob
