Hardtop Fitting, where do you get the parts and instructions

PostPost by: BLTZKRG » Tue Jan 22, 2008 12:02 am

I have a windscreen surround, original hardtop , the side pieces and see that I'll neeed the various rubber pieces, windscreen seal, rear screen seal, bottom of the hardtop seal to body and the one below the windscreen frame to bodyshell, I'm also missing one of the clamps for the hardtop to wndscreen surround.
Does anyone have any advice on where to get these parts or is there a diagram listed anywhere of the pieces that I need.
My Elan is a racing car with a roadster cut down screen, I want it converted to look like a 26R

Any help would be gratefully received

Hi Ian
O.K, so now that I looked at your profile and looked at the other posts you have made and googled your phone number, I see you are in California. Try Dave Bean, JAE, Ray at RD enterprises. I think they will have the rubber parts, the hardtop specifice like latches and the like, well your on your own unless Tony Thompson has them...

Do you need a dog to hold the hardtop on? Or is it a dog to fit?

Hi Matthew

Beauregard's photo is there because I get the look alot. When folks ask questions and leave out important details, like Location I have the same look. Is it to much for some people to fill out there profiles.

p.s. - My hardtop resides in the upstairs bedroom, when its has been on the S2 its held on with a single carrage bolt into the center of the windscreen frame (this is not factory) and two 1/4" 20 bolts into the same hole as the cant rail pins drop into.

This is as much as I have on the latches, the photos came from Andy Bodge's hardtop that he got with his S2 40 or so years ago.
