[Tigers] hard-top questions

[Samouce's]

1) there are two small brackets about an inch long pop-riveted to the
bottom 

frame of the hardtop. the tab 

        over at 90 degrees has a very  small hole in the center. Any idea 

what these are for?

 

 

Those are for the straps that hold up the boot cover across the stowed top.

Hello

 

Two hardtop questions after striping everything off the steel frame on  

Gary's top last night:

 

1) there are two small brackets about an inch long pop-riveted to the
bottom 

frame of the hardtop. the tab 

        over at 90 degrees has a very  small hole in the center. Any idea 

what these are for?

 

2)  Paint: all hardtops were painted black. I want to match the  original 

color and finish. I once heard that

                it was black with a clear coat from the factory. True or 

false?  And what  color and type of paint 

               used?  There is essentially no orange peal on my top which is


reasonable in  paint.

 

Any and all hardtop comments welcomed.

 

Best regards,
