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!

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.

Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
83 (or most of it anyway) also used the hook style.
It's much easier to swap out the striker plates.

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.
