Dennis(dnv) has one, I think, and I also think Mike(mkapp7879) may have the installation instructions. I know there was a thread on this carrier a while back, and there was some really good info posted. I'll look and see can I locate it...

Here's one   (still looking...)Adams' Apple2009-04-25 10:58:37

I've got the T-Top mount on mine (see back of car in pic) but mine came with the option already installed.  It consists of 6 big allen head bolts that are threaded inside the allen hole (drilled thru the bolt).  I was a fairly rare option (V-54 roof panel carrier), with only 3,755 out of 40,614 cars.  It was a new mod for 1980. 

I put new bolts in when I had mine painted.  If you do get it successfully installed, do yourself a favor and get 8 of the fuzzy shoulder pads that mount on seat belts and put them, velcro side up on the straps.  Trust me, this is crucial to save your T-Top paint.

My shop manual is over at 71Shark's house along with the car.  Next time I'm over there, I'll see if there is an install drawing and get you a copy. 

  I want to sincerely thank you for sending me that picture.  You have an absolutely STUNNING C3, how did you get it to sit so low?  When mine gets out of the shop I am going to send you a picture and you will be amazed at how close our coupes are in appearence - except mine is millenium yellow, if we put them side by side they could be mascots for IOWA - or the "killer bees" from Saturday night live fame - Anyway you have helped me a lot,my first concern "did I get ripped off?" has been settled, looks like I haven't been. #2 now we get to the install part, and I would like 6to continue to impose on your co-operation.  Is there any possible way, when you get to where this vette is that you could shoot a couple of shoots from the back side of the car?  Ideally if i had a couple of pictures of the rear deck one with the t-tops mounted on the carrier and another with the t-tops off and the mounts exposed that would be great!  Do you think I will need to remove the gas tank to install these things correctly?

My 82 has the mounting holes so I'm looking for the rack also.  If you chicken out on drilling holes let me know.  When I asked about removing the hardware guys on this site told me that there was no real way to be sure that they would not show later.  On the other had if you want any measurements for installation let me know and I will take them for you.

I have a few pix of her from behind.  Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you that pix I have.  Not sure if I have them in all config's you asked about, but I'll send you what I have until I get a chance to take a few more pix.

I paid about $400 for my mount, bag and big bolts.  My research indicates they came in a few colors other than black.  I have seen red, black and blue.  I have also seen red, black, blue and gold bags.  I have the gold bag and strongly suspect that the one I bought was for an 82 CE.

HGow do I send you a PM?
