Yes if you had a patter for that plate you'd be set. Take it to a CNC shop a get them to pump you out a few, I'm sure others would be keen for one.

Okay, I missed out.....what changed and those shackles are interesting. What is the smaller bolt under and behind the top bolt on the hangers? A stop/block mechanism?
BTW, my spellcheck says you spelled rumor wrong? ;) ;) ;)

Just showing Steve my bent chassis rail. The shackles are the anti inversion type. You're right, the bolt stops the shackle inverting and jamming against the chassis.

Rumour has is your American spell check is wrong ;)

So I acquired a soft top last weekend and on Wednesday I dropped it off to have the windows replaced.

It still needs a really good scrub as it was sitting under a guys bench in his workshop since the mid 70's!

Im a little disappointed they had to replace the webbing on the back window. If I had know they needed to I should have got it done in green to blend a little better. I also got them to repair a rip on the back flap.
