Hi guys
Now i have bonnet struts sorted thanks to Mark (mr zigazag). I want to sort out the rear.
Anyone any suggestions where i could get the metal plates that attach to the rear window on a fhc Tasmin?
Cheers

As far as I recall (and it's been a while since I worked on a FHC) the plates for the gas struts are the same as the one for the latch; the roof hinges are two simple strap hinges. I recall welding in new studs to those on my Tasmin.

If you do decide to make some, I'd be happy to buy a spare set from you. For when mine give up the ghost.
