I asked SVEN ECKHARDT for help with this one and here is his reply:
” I think the technical drawings on the DHMC hardtop on your Sebringsprite website are very helpful. Drawing 1 – Drawing 2 The clips and brackets to fix the hardtop to the car are the same as for the BMC hardtop. The clips are available from AH Spares part number XHOD153 (£33.75 each). The correct brackets are not available new. I did find a set at the Sprite 60 Autojumble at Wroxall Abbey. I have started making them myself and could supply them for £50 a pair. Going by the technical drawing on your site these brackets are fixed to the hoodstick bracket by a 4″ X 5/16″ UNF hexagonal headed bolt and special winged nuts. The bolts are easy enough to get but the nuts I hadn´t been able to find. However Jochen Schmitt got me onto this: The winged nuts used to fit the sidescreens to the BN4 look very similar and have the correct thread. They are available from AH Spares part number SID117 at £4.50 each. The other possibility is to use 10cm M8 bolts. I have been able to find winged nuts with an M8 thread meant to tension drums and have ordered them from an ebay supplier – they are a good bit cheaper though at £4.50 for the ones from AH Spares aren´t really too dear – you can take your pick. For the rubber in the channel for the windscreen I have used 15X8 self adhesive foam rubber. So far I have been using a good dimension draught excluder as the hardtop to body seal as well as on the apertures for the sidescreens. Going by the drawings on your website it should be a complex foam rubber profile and we found the remnants of this profile on an original BMC hardtop we bought for Franz Josef 2 years ago. So far I had not been able to find this profile anywhere; however one of the seal kits for a Big Healey Hardtop AH Spares offer a seal which looks uncannily like the profile on the drawing on your website. AH Spares have agreed to supply me with a section of this seal and I might be on to something here and I shall keep you posted. Sven”.
[I am sure this will be very helpful and if Sven sends me more I will add it here. If you want to get in touch with Sven I can also put you in touch. Martin]
