C4 Hardtop Pins
I am looking at a hardtop for sale with missing rear pins. It comes with the obsolete side brackets, but no rear pins. I know that there are 10 bolts for the side brackets, but pins on the rear? I thought that there would simply be 2 small bolts that thread into the bottom of the latches where the welded nuts are. Is there some sort of locator pin that guides the top into place as well? Maybe the bolts go through these pins? Are these pins available if I have to buy some? Thanks for any information about this.

I called the dealer and there are some guide pins of some sort that are discontinued. The dealer did not have any information on the bolts that go through the guide pins. Does anyone know the thread and length for those two bolts?

It looks like you need the bolt on the lower right side of the page.
Hope that helps

Thanks GreyGhost
. I passed on the top after seeing the prices on those guide pins. I called a large Vette salvage yard and they said good luck. The deal on the big auction site wasn't so great when you factor in the cost of the extra hardware that was missing.
