Hardware cost?
I have an opportunity to buy a hard top for my 94 convertible. The only problem is there is no hardware. Any one have an idea what hardware I would need and approx. what the cost would be.

The hardware is getting pricey and harder to find. I'm using prices from Art's you may find them cheaper somewhere else but I knew he had them all a few years ago now he doesn't. So I'm pasting the instruction book IOT show the parts.
You will need to find two mounting brackets (lock pillar brackets) (arts corvette parts prices 63.12 for the right unavailable left), (10 bolts at 6.95 ea) you can use bolts from ACE or another hardware store instead of buying the corvette specific bolts to mount them.
and two hardtop guides and two bolts (arts corvette parts has the guides for 124.00 ea and the bolts at 6.95)

The hardtop is the best thing you can install on a C4 Vert.
My car is a CC2 that was missing the hardtop when I bought it, and found one (in the correct color and ended up almost doubleing the price of the roof acquiring the hardware. But the car ends up being extremely solid with the hardtop installed (tighter than the coupes Ive ridden in) the handling improvement alone makes it a worthwhile purchase.
.......and it looks awesome too! Good luck on the purchase.

Aboatguy,thanks for the reply. After posting the message I ran across the site linked below. Are the parts I need on it and if so would you let me know which ones I need?
I' new at this 'puter' thing, so I hope the link goes thru.
Again thanks,
Don

You need the upper brackets left and right (hit part 8 and they both pop up)
You will need the 2 rear bracket bolts and 2 rear bracket guides 10 and 11
I don't see the nuts and bolts you need for the assembly however, ACE hardware will be your friend.
Sorry I missed your question I got sent to Austin for IKE relief. (someone thought they'd need more boats)
