I met John and got the hard top in the on Friday. It turns out to be a Parrish Plastics top, and had been mounted with some jury rigging of sorts. John was kind enough to provide me with an old soft top frame in case I could use some of the hardware, but the soft top latches do not work. Does anybody on here have a Parrish or Smooth Line top? What kind of hardware is used to attach it?

Thanks

Here are a few links that might help with latches (maybe not).

I also included a list of tops that TR8/Paul listed a while back.

I am currious about tops in general. If you find the type of top you have in Paul's list, could reply back with which one it is?

The top appears to to be the same as the third link, on the gold TR.

It is a Parrish Plastics top. Parrish was taken over by Smooth Line. They are located near Pittsburgh, in Tarentum, PA. The top looks like the very last one in the photobucket list, on the gold TR as John said.
I asked Smooth Line about mounting, and they sent me details. It is a cheesy setup, not using the latches from the soft top, but using a bolt instead.
