Default Targa top brackets
Can some one please identify what year top this bracket belongs to or what years it applies to?
If a top has this bracket can a 96 targa top bracket being installed in it's place?

Ok great so its a 86-88 top then?
Can a set of 89-96 brackets be installed and the top should work fine?
Or is the rear brackets and entire top also not going to work on a 89-96?

So this bracket and top year does not equal what's stated in this add?

measure the distance between the two mounting points for the bracket. It appears the 86 version is wider then the 96 version
