Idea's Needed For My Hard Top

Sorry, I should have clarified that it will be going onto my hard toneau cover. So it has to mount to a flat surface horizontal to the body.

I had a '69 MGC (like an MGB but with 6 cyl AH 3k engine).  It had a tonneau bar that slid into receiver pockets on either side.  A year after getting the car I bought a used MGB hardtop.  It secured to the same tonneau bar pockets.  You could do same and and add a hand twist know to secure. Or you could extend or use one of the bolts that hold the soft top frame on and use that with a wing nut.  I thing bolts eithe side would secure for up to 60 mph.

Bill.....You might find something in the West marine catalog in the deck hardware section......Bruce

Thanks Greg and Bruce.

Greg my tonneau is held in place with the soft top bolts to body thus the need for a surface mount/receiver.

I  reinstalled my engine in my Beck and didn't label my wires, but have 2 large wires going to the alternator post, a skinny wire going to the tab behind the post, and a thick wire with a fuse block screwed to the top left side of the alternator.  I just noticed the fuse block and thought it strange for a ground to have a fuse. How can I be sure all wires are proper?

Psychology, both wires going to the terminal are from the same harness...

Ignore the word "psychology "

Now that's a 360 degree thread drift.  Back to Bill's hard tonneau.

I have these holding the rear hatch on a dune buggy - it uses 4 of them - they are marine products. Even the front soft top to bow clips would work.

I think you got the wrong guy.

Meade, I think your in the wrong thread. This discussion is about mounting a hard top...

Greg, that looks like a possibility not quite what I am looking for but a good plan B.

Our friend Greg usually has a good 'plan A'...but always, always, can be relied upon to come up with a workable 'plan B'

Meade:  See the private message from me.  You'll have to trace back the orange and yellow wires to see where they go.  The rest I explain.  gn

Yes he does. I was hoping he'd chime in on this one.

Meade, I thought we went through this wire thing last month, did you have to pull the motor again?

Yes, pulled the engine again, did a bunch of stuff to it, and stuck it back in with wiring issues, caused by me...
