I restored my targa top when I painted my 914 and dropped the v-8 in. Anyway, while getting things together to go to the WCR, I attempted to put the targa top on for the first time. Suprise, the rear of the lid wouldn't sit down...it stuck up in the rear. I thought at first it was just out of adjustment or tight because of all the new seals.
It all made sense when I looked at a rear latch (part that bolts to the targa top itself) compared to one on a junk lid I had. The bracket itself is identical on both lids, but the rubber is significantly taller on my lid. The rubber looks new on both latches, but taller??? Did early lids take a different height rubber, and perhaps I ended up with a pair of them. My tub is a 75.   |
