My '67 Dino Spider is receiving a new convertible top and we are in need of replacement bows and other hardware that provides the structure to the top. We ordered the canvas top from Dino Parts but we are having a challenge locating the supporting materials. The original bows are damaged to the exte...

I am restoring the interior and convertible top of my 1967 Dino and was curious how you sourced replacement parts for the convertible top?

In searching the forum, Cabrio / KHM was also recommended.

Thanks.

Thank you to all of you for the guidance. We discovered that the Marelli distributor was not properly grounded - on the outside of the distributor there is a small condenser / capacitor and there is a screw that connects to the car’s ground. If you don’t have the proper washer then you can short the...
