I've been scouring the web to see if I can locate your part. This guy might be a possibility. I've been saving some links and will make a post of some places you might want to contact.

something tells me your going to need to find a NOS piece.

I've been scouring the internet looking for a place that might have your part. here is a link to a place that I was shocked at how many NOS parts they have for Corvettes and thats just what they show so far.

Well I think I found what you are looking for here on this page. This company says its another exclusive only offered by them. I believe they are calling it a soft top guide pin. Its on the last page item #7 in the illustration.

I will take a look although there are guide pins as well. I'm wondering if maybe the striker plates for the 63-67 would work even though they only use 2 screws instead of 3. Where is a good place to find a list of interchangeable parts?
I'm still looking for my links. I guess I will have to get them from home. Not showing up on my work computer.
My photos are working again. I just need to sign in once in awhile to keep it active.
Photos are working now, you're right. Wow, what a difference a paint job makes, huh? Looks great. CHeck out my home page link. I posted 3 pics of my 68 there today....
Would you have a source where I might find a part interchange list online? I'm wondering if the 63-67 latch plates would work on my 68. The 68 has a third screw hole but a 63-67 plate still might work.
Thanks.
The one with the paint is not mine. That's a different car. A 71 BB convertable. Mine is a 75 t-top.
It belongs to David, aka PigPen, who lives in Wales, England. He bought it last summer and drove RT66 and other roads on a Cross country trip. His passanger is Anna. She lives out West and rode along with David. In the pictures, I'm the one with the catapiller on the upper lip. I met them when they were coming close by. Once on the east coast, Anna flew home, and David put the car on a ship and sent it home to England. He took a plane. Great people, both of them. Quite a trip for them. I was just lucky enough to spend a few hours with them and have dinner.
Your 68 is the stuff dreams are made of. That thing is fabulous!
You should enter it in C3 of the week.
I really don't know how many are over there. I know of a few, but really don't have an answer. David also has a 77 (I think) coupe. He is doing major work to it at this time, and might ship it here in October and join the group a C3X. That's not cast in stone as of yet.
I'm trying to remember David's log in name. Someone help me out.
