Title: Driver side soft top anchor
Post by: cbenz1 on April 23, 2012, 15:00:07

Been looking around and I don't see anyone making the anchors for the large soft top spring.  My driver side anchor (like many others) is broken off.  Anyone have a machine shop that created one that I could reach out to?

I can do that - but would think need local to weld in place

OK so after further inspection, the anchor is broken off near the base making it impossible to weld unless I take the the softtop off - think I'll leave that for a while.  However, the anchor for the small spring is still there.  Since I already bought the big spring is there any harm in putting an eyebolt in that hole (it is smaller) and using that for anchoring the large spring?  Has anyone tried that?
