68 GT convertible project
Thanks Martin. Just to be clear, it's the plastic pieces that hold the lift bracket to the side glass. It's not really a "roller". I saw some listed at R/T Specialties but they looked different and said they were for hardtops.
Today I worked on the springs. The oval track springs use the larger B and E body sized shackle bushings. They make special bushings that will work but I already had new A-body bushings here so I wanted to use them. I decided the easiest and least expensive thing to do was sleeve the springs. I went to the hardware store and bought a couple 1" OD black pipe sections. The OD was too large to fit in the spring eye but the bushings fit perfectly inside the pipe. I went to my father-in-laws house and used his lathe to cut down the pipe so it would fit inside the spring.
