Doubtful. It seems that all spare parts associated with the swap are in short supply. 2 years ago when we started doing the swaps, parts were next day shipped. Now, I really wish people knew that they need to get these parts from the donor Bronco.
Are these brackets only for a soft top? I am selling my top and want to be sure I give everything I need to, but not moreNo idea what the hell that is but there's a national stop sale and nearly 160 on back order. For that price I'd almost have to believe it includes the trim panels but wouldn't rule out their pricing is way off.
I finally did my swap today. Little tough getting the soft top on but once I figured out where it went on that bracket it was fine before installing the 3 bolts each side. Little disappointing my roll bar bracket has a bunch of wear marks on the finish. Not sure how. I only opened and closed it once to make sure it lined up. I didn’t pay close attention before doing it, but I don’t see what could have rubbed on it when the hard top was on. Can’t see it unless I stand on the tube step or door and look down on it. Just kind of disappointed it came like that.
Those straps can be used when the soft top is all the way open and back to help keep it from flopping or opening. They go around the sides.
@flip Are these roll bar brackets still on back order?No idea what the hell that is but there's a national stop sale and nearly 160 on back order. For that price I'd almost have to believe it includes the trim panels but wouldn't rule out their pricing is way off.
Wait, this is for the latches. Are any other parts on back order or is everything else on the parts list available?
Yup. Does not appear any back orders in the system currently on the right side (second snip), left is the same. My suggestion for anyone wanting these is to place an order so you are in line for the incoming batch before dealers (like us) place stock orders so we can keep a few in inventory for e-commerce or repair shop sales.
Are the bolts that attach these roll bar brackets the same size/length that secure the hard top to the body? I have extras from the latter as I replaced them with Rockworx fasteners.
Hoping someone can clear up something for me. In the picture above, the bolts for the roll bar brackets are black and look similar to the bolts for the hard top roll bar brackets (right side of the image I referred to in my earlier post). But when I look at the part number (W707288-S442) that was listed in one of the earlier posts, the bolts look totally different (see below picture). They’re a dull grayish color and look more like the bolts for the quarter panel brackets.
Yeah, I received the same grey bolts in the mail. Do you know which part number is right for the roll bar bracket bolts? Do the bolts that secure the hardtop to the body work?
