Default Paging convertible owners, looking for hard to find parts!

I'm in the process of restoring my convertible top frame. I would like to replace some of the bushings and screws that are used to assemble the top frame. Spoke with Zip today and they only sell these parts for the C1 and C2. Anyone know who sells these parts?

Regards,

Jim

Coffman's Corvettes in Ohio, or Sully's Tops in California. Both can sell you entire repro top frames. They also sell all the bows, rivets, etc. Don't have addresses or phone #'s. Chuck

Chuck,

Thanks for the tip. Don't need an entire frame. In fact, I have already had my frame restored minus the rivets and bushings which have a lot of play in them. Want to get it as close to new as possible before the new top is installed. What an expensive project :eek:

Regards,

Jim
