So I bought an extra targa top off Craigslist to experiment with LineX as a re-coating. It came out nice, so I'm going to use it.
Apparently the latches and tops are slightly different. As shown in the picture, my original latches do not latch, the handles hit the top. But the new one single one that came with the targa does work. So I either need to make the old ones work or buy a 2nd latch of the "new" style. Any thoughts?  |

And it's painted to match my car too. Ok, another twist (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Early tub '71 with '74 doors and glass. Which top is going to fit correctly? |
