: Roof t-stenz 09-08-2008, 04:06 PM Hey everyone, I have an 85 C4, with a targa top. Now the 2 brackets at the back of the roof that hold it on are stripped, along with the bolts. Does anyone know where I could order some from for a decent price? chappy 09-08-2008, 04:08 PM The roof threads are stripped or the bolts: You might be able to clean them up with a tap and dye, somebody way overtightened them. t-stenz 09-08-2008, 05:05 PM yea I was thinking I might be able to tap the brackets, but the bolts are just randoms that someone had put in there. I was just wondering if they still manufactured some sort of kit for new ones. engineers vette 09-08-2008, 06:26 PM I've seen some of that stuff on Ebay a few times. DVD 09-09-2008, 02:23 AM Don't realy know local hardware store?? use grade 8 bolts or stainless Churchkey 09-09-2008, 02:36 AM If the female threads are stripped out you may be able to install a thread repair something like heli coil. Ecklers has the roof bolts. http://www.ecklers.com/search.asp?action=freeSearch&free_text=roof%20bolts&searchHistory= driley 09-09-2008, 02:57 AM Call Williams Corvettes at 803-494-8944.
