Re: hardtop fitting kit-advice reqd from Rob T please

The pictures don't show
  • any bolts for fitting the brackets
  • bolts for securing front of HT to Windscreen Frame
  • Torx Tool for tightening front bolts
as has been said there are too many shadows to evaluate the condition of what is there, but the price is very cheap ATM.
