Title: Hard Top restoration
Post by: Anfinn on February 15, 2008, 12:40:59
Could someone please help me to obtain the often referred to "Gernolds article on Hard Top restoration" and the color wiring diagram?
These were issued with earlier Member magazines, but I joined too late, since they now seems to be out of print.

Rodd, you should consider re-printing Gernold's article in Pagoda World. Seems like there's a lot of recurring interest in it.

Bob and Peter,

Thank you guys for this effort, I have wanted to read Gernold's guide for a long time now.  Don't know this brings me any closer to replacing my headliner, but nice to have the resource.

Don't know where you find the time to do all this, but it is really appreciated.

Best,
g

I'm curious whether Gernold's article is copyrighted... or has permission been obtained from the original publisher or Gernold?

Presumably Gernold wrote it for others to read and benefit from??

I have a copy of Gernolds article and would be glad to share it. Just contact me a my new email addresss krwaxbz@yahoo and give me your address and I will send it  out.
I suggest that prehaps we add to the technical manual parts sources still availible for this restoration job. I hear some parts are no longer made.
