Here is another pic of where it goes. I also need another piece, it is on the driver side above the window.

You could always try to have that welded back together.

I think it could be brazed together nicely.

Yeah, that's what I was going to do if I couldn't find one. The only problem is the rust has eaten away where the pivot bolt goes causing it to be very thin

Re: I cannot find this convertible top part

Ok so I was able to make a new piece in the first picture. But I was able to weld the second one though I can't figure out how to bend it back correctly. Does anyone have a picture of what yours looks like, it's above the driver side door. Thanks
