Griffith top bolts, where buy them?

[panic]

A few months ago i've take off the whole griffith top, it has two big bolts at the side and two smaller ones for the aluminium sticks that hold it more at the centre...I wanted to fix the top back but i can't find them, where could i buy new ones??

Hi,any local tool/fasteners store as long as someone can you with the sizes. They will be able to supply in any material/grade for you too so try for stainless first.

Any idea of what are the sizes needed?

[pringli]

I don't but there are a few guys who have done a roof recover so they should be able to tell you sizes ok.

I will have a look to see if I have some info later for you.

Just look at the size of the hole they have to fit through and the length you need.

I think what Pete says is ok for the ones that hold the hood at the rear as these are just Allen bolts and nuts bt I think theres a captive nut in the One that it pivots on each side of the main Hoop.

Might be worth giving the breakers a yell. I'm sure nobody ever buys these bolts so they'll have them kicking around and would take just a couple of quid for them.

They do come up on ebay every now and again.

Not used them myself.

looks a good find Auntie..although it makes me wonder why they call it an Engine dress up kit when

from there site said:

They are all the visible items in the engine bay excluding the engine itself, a kit will be coming for this soon.[b]SO ITS NOT AN ENGINE DRESS UP KIT THEN!![b]
It also includes the 4 Domed nuts for the roof supports and all the boot fastenings. All items are easily replaced with just a couple of spanners required. There is no need to remove anything, just remove one bolt at a time and replace it a new one. All items come in individual bags clearly labelled with its location. All items are supplied in A4 Marine grade stainless steel. All items are supplied in their natural finish.

So if you want to replace all the rusting nuts and bolts in your engine bay for a cleaner look, then this is the kit for you. Not only does it improve looks, but it also eases disassembly of those potentially rusted bolts at a later date.

This kit includes the all the items for the following areas of the TVR Griffith 400, 450 & 500:

Steering wheel to boss.
Bonnet rams to Bracket.
Bonnet ram bracket to Body.
Bonnet Rollers.
Washer Bottle to Body.
Pedal box to Body.
Bonnet catch to Body.
Air Sensor to Body.
Windscreen motor to Body.
Antiroll bar to Chassis.
Rear Roof supports.
Boot Hinge assy.
Boot Hinge to Body
Boot Hinge to Boot
Boot Catch to Boot.

Not knocking them ( Glad they have taken the time to do one)but would like to see what the kit looks like and interested to see what the Engine one looks like when they have one...

Anyone on here ordered one from them?

I bought a set but not fitted them yet, they come in labelled up bags and all look to be good quality SS fasteners and at a very reasonable price and ultra quick delivery.

Could i ask if rear roof bolts are all of them or only the two larger ones? Thanks.

[Yellabelly]

Panic, rear roof bolts were not included only dome nuts for the alloy supports but if you go on their website, match the size of your bolts and order direct.
The set cost me £18.71 delivered
