Kayline Soft Top Hard Parts

Post by 75DBE »

All --

Several years back I acquired a Kayline soft and bikini top from a very gracious Bronco owner. To be terribly honest, he was up towards west Denver I think, but I can't remember who it was. I know, I am awful. (He had a nice Bronco that he was restoring -- green I think -- in his detached garage and a couple of young kids and a dog or two out back.) Anyways, with winter coming I was finally looking to put the soft top on and I find that I am missing one piece of harware -- pictured. I suppose I could try and manufacture one, but it would be so much easier if someone had one lying around.

Please let me know if you can help me out. The piece pictured is for the driver side and I need the passenger side.

John.

Really a waste of such a fine machine. But I'm enjoying the practice, even if it is all manual x-y-z. I'm going to keep reading up on G-code and see if I can start really having fun with metal. I'd like to turn out a 1911 lower receiver by the end of the year.

I was digging through my Bronco crap today, getting ready to tear into my truck, and I found a pair of these brackets. I have no idea why I have them. I do have an old bikini top, maybe it came with that.

I'm planning a drive to C.S. in the next couple weeks, should I bring them? Or I can mail them, if you need them quicker.
