54 Convertible Top Receiver Hardware

[Steve G.]

I'm sure I'm not using the correct terminology here but I'm looking for the hardware that installs on the convertible top lid that locks the top to the lid. Anyone know where I can pick up a set?

The parts for the two holes in the Conv top lid ?

Re: 54 Convertible Top Receiver Hardware

Correct..I have hardware but I'm not sure it's the right stuff. The two holes appear larger than what my hardware will cover. Any idea how big the hole is supposed to be?

Re: 54 Convertible Top Receiver Hardware

can you post up a photo
I wonder if you have a later conv top lid on the car
should be two round holes.
Are the holes long - may be a 56 up deck lid

It does have a round hole

Here is what goes in/over the hole - the saw tooth catch goes down thru the center to latch the top
