Spitlisters:

I am in the process of adding a roll bar to my Spitfire.   Presently I have
the MK3 convertible frame that folds behind the seats (and am not very
happy with it for various reasons).  To fit the roll bar I intend to
replace this with the earlier MK1/2 removeable system, which I still have
from a previously owned project car.  This will have the added benefit of
saving my seats, which presently rub against the frame and are about to
develop a couple of nasty tears.

I believe that have everything I need except the anchors points on the tub
for the convertible top frame.  These are the tube-thingummies that the
frames slots into, adjacent to the doors.  I believe they are spot welded
to the tub.

I am looking for someone with a MK1/2 tub that is toast - who is willing to
remove a pair of these (reasonably carefully) and sell them to me.  I
suppose I could fabricate something but would rather avoid this hassle if
possible.

Also - if anyone has a better idea to achieve the end objective I'm open to
suggestions.

Once this is complete - I will have a complete MK3 convertible top frame
(with a top that is in poor shape) available for who might want to attempt
the reverse conversion.

Cheers
Mark
