I am working on the manual convertible top for my '68 and have this mystery part that was with the other top parts when I got the car years ago, does anyone know if this lever looking part even goes with the top?
I have never seen this part or anything like it on my power top car.
Doesn't look familiarto me. Almost looks like a crank handle for a screw jack.
I have taken apart a lot of 1st gen verts and never seen that part.
Thanks Guy's! That's what I thought but this is my first restoration and a convertible and the Body By Fischer book seems to leave out a few details since I assume they shipped the top frames as one assembly.
Might be similar to part #34 in this Craftsman push mower parts diagram, or something along that line.
Funny! Wrong forum...Wrong site! I should have check the Sears site. I have a '68 A.I.M not the '68 Craftsman
I was mowing the lawn and the light bulb came on ;D
