I am (finally!) near the end of my rebuild project - for now. (will there ever be an end???).
What I can't find are the 2 chrome pieces I removed from the top rail above the windshield that the convertible top fastens into. I know I took them off 5 1/2 years ago & so far, I have found every other part I removed from the car - but not these. Can anyone give me the official part name & suggest where I might purchase a set?

Thanks!

Are you talking about the two pieces that are held on by two screws and have a "keyhole" shaped hole in it?

I would try Ted when he gets back from Daytona.

There always appears to be some of these and the handles for sale on Ebay,I guess they do not rust away like most other parts.Steve..

In my view they are not chrome but black painted copper.

Going by mine they look like chromed brass - the only bit left when the rest rusts away!

On the Spider they were black painted on brass in keeping with the black theme. Can't recall what they were on Yellow TCT as they are well packed away.

Black painted on my, originally Poseidon, TR8 too.

all three of my DHCs ('81, '82, '80 - in that order) they were chrome plated. The original color of each was white, black & red (I think). That may have something to do with the color of the car itself

mine are also original and definitively black painted brass.
The handles are chrome though ....
