This is the first of two updates. Last week, I assembled the convertable top frame. All of the pivot points had powder coating on them which had to be removed. All of the tops frames that I have ever seen have so much slop in them that they are difficult to raise and lower. That happens because the bushings that were installed at the factory disappear over time. I was fortunate enough to get a set from Alfa West. Unfortunately, it was the last set and I don't think Dale has plans to make any more. I am not sure what they are made of, and I didn't ask. I was just happy to get them. They are a very snug fit. Every one needed to be pressed in (I used a small plastic hammer). As you can see from the photos, all of the powder coating needed to be removed in order for the bushings to fit. Once all of the bushings were installed, I assembled the two halves and installed them on the car.
