Re: [alfa] Thanks, now what about my new hardtop?

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Elizabeth:

I'm still concerned that your new battery won't solve your other problem, 
but could very easily be wrong.  See the further discussion in Digest 299, 
but in short, you shouldn't have to ever disconnect your battery to prevent 
it draining.

I also just bought a "new" used Pininfarina hardtop for my '87.  Did you 
get the proper mounting hooks that mount to the rear deck of the car?  I'm 
not talking about those little chrome "buttons", as those are for the boot 
cover.  The hardtop hooks are actual hooks that have their opening facing 
rearwards and capture the 2 brackets under the top as you slide it 
forward.  I'm picking up my new set tomorrow (~$30, from AlfaBill), so if 
you need a few digital pics, let me know and I'll send them.

Regards,

Dean
