t-top strikers/latches
Does anyone know where I can get a set of four t-top strikers and mounting plates for both a and b pillars? I purchased a great set of glass t-tops that are the older "hook style" and my 1992 has the pin style now. Any help is much appreciated!

you would have to find an 82 with ttops, your best bet is to switch the pin style setup from your old ttops into your new/old ones

Thanks. I was hoping to find someone who actually had the strikers and plates for the hook stlye latches or of a place that had them available. I know that I need to switch them from the pin style I have now.

83 (or most of it anyway) also used the hook style.
It's much easier to swap out the striker plates.

Check with Hawks or f-bodymotorsports

I have a set of hook style tops on my 82...want to go the other way, w/ later style t-tops. Heard they latch better...I got some later style mounting hardware for the body from a yard. I would say I would get you my 82 style body mounts, but we are going to a targa top and still not 100% sure which style will work best.

The pin-style does latch much better. I remember riding in my mom's 83, and she was CONSTANTLY keeping her hand on the T-top because it always rattled.
