Datsun Roadster Softop Teardrops
These
are mounted on the rear deck. They hold the flat bar that
is sewn in to the rear of the softop material.
These
lead a very hard life; being carelessly hammered by the
softop bar repeatedly by careless owners. The studs that
secure them are very small and prone to breakage during
removal.
They
can of course be drilled and tapped for new studs or
bolts but it can be a tedious process best left to a
machine shop or possibly even a jeweler!
Chrome
is very difficult to photograph. We try to make the
chips, gouges and scrapes as evident as possible. There
may be dark areas in the bottom of the pictures that is
just a reflection.
Being
"pot-metal" these pit and chip; and the tips can be
broken. They are priced accordingly.
Unless
specified otherwise, pieces shown have two useable studs;
i.e. a nut (if present or not) will thread on them OK. I
cannot guarantee that the studs will not break when you
tighten them; these; and new ones are DELICATE. There is
no warranty for this.
