Default T-Top Rear Striker Plates

Anyone know a good source for reproduction rear t-top striker plates? All I can find are beat up ones like mine.

Hi sum,
The larger vendors all list the tri-angle bolt, plate and screws, and the receiver on the corner of the roof panel, in their catalogues.
Regards,
Alan

I'm talking about these ones that go inside the car and screw to the hoop.

Hi sum,
I'm not sure if I've seen those in reproduction.
Sorry!
Regards,
Alan

I had mine re-plated.

Mine are getting re-plated... if you must have a set now you could always buy a set off ebay then send yours to get plated and re sell them once you get them back. Most chrome shops have a 6 month back log.

I already got my bumpers back from the chrome shop. I was going to just purchase the rear pieces new as most of the time its cheaper to do that. When I went looking for them found out they were not available. they have been gone for 3 months already. You might be lucky and have a shop that is not that backlogged. I just plan ahead..
