Guys, I need to replace my plates as the hardtop is starting to rattle. Any idea of somewhere cheap for these?

Seriously now, even 2nd hand ebay jobbies go for

Best think I ever did, i did not think that they would make so much difference, i got a good deal on mine from Honda in Telford: 01952-200999 ask for Glyn (parts manager) also make sure when you fit them you use loctite...

Loctite?! Guess I NEED TO READ THE FAQ.

loctite or any threadlocking substance - can be bought from halfords or anywhere like that for a few quid. stops the screws coming loose

are the striker plates grooved where the hardtop latches on??? if not and its just the plate thats loose you may just have to tighten them up (with some loctite!) i did this to mine only 2 days ago and its stopped all rattles, one screw had completely come out!

Hardtopguy, might not be that much cheaper with the current $

Yeah, I would try hardtop guy. I think they are 50 dollars.

Tango if you order any from HTG I need some too if you want to go halves on the postage

HTG declares face value - you may just pay tax and duty etc. so best avoided on that small order, go UK.

Find a local hardware / engineering fixings shop for Loctite, or get bum bashed in HellFrauds.
Buy BLUE loctite, 'threadlocker'. Use green and it'll never come apart again!

Lee, quick free fix is to wrap several turns of tape or self amalgamating tape around the hooks.
It'll pull up tighter and shut them up for a very long time.

Guys, I have managed to sort some out so I should stop the rattle by end of the week.

Cheers from a rattled Tango.
