Hi John,
If you find a source, be sure to post it to the list.
I
have an original hardtop. My drip rails are still usable, but the corners of
the drip rails seem to have dissolved due to some sort of cathodic reaction. I
have considered trying to make a tool (mandrel) and re-manufacture them myself
out of aluminum or stainless steel. Probably won't be happening anytime soon
though.

Does anybody know a source of
the two drip channels for the TR2/3 hardtop,
either re manufacture or used. I
had a very bad day yesterday when I decided
the best way to remove the paint
the DPO had applied to them was using an
alkaline stripper solution as I was
afraid of scratching the surface using
mechanical methods. This etched DEEP
into the aluminum rendering them useless.
DAMM!

John
