Targa top question.
Hi folks I have a targa top that is missing the middle pin ( rear of top). Can anyone please tell me what that centre pin is numbered or called so I can order one from our host. Hope fully I have uploaded a photo and it shows the centre pin in black.
Thank you Justin.

That pin is not a separate part. On my tops, it is a cast pin.
If your top doesn't have it, you'll either have to fab something or buy a top that has one. Ken

Justin,
What year is your car? The middle pin was added in a later design top - it's not on earlier top models. Edit: check out this thread: Targa Tops

I was looking for this thread. By all accounts, Dan is the Targa Top Guy.

My car is an 84. But the top on my car is from a 77.
If you want the pin, you should look for a new top. That's my advice. And - Dan is good about replying to e-mails. So - go to his site and shoot him a note. Ken
