997 hardtop conversion help

Hey guys,
Could someone post the parts and or a link so I can get all the parts to put a hardtop on my 06 997. I found a thread here the other day and now can't find it, despite my searching. This thread talked about the conversion and listed the parts including the parts that go on the top itself to replace the bayonet type male connector.
TIA

Try the link below. You don't want to change any of the top parts as they are a good deal more expensive than the mounting points on the car.

Thanks, I saw that but don't I need the parts that go in the top itself? Or are the parts you listed for the older style bayonet type mounts?



Ok I guess they are for the 996, duh. Is there a part # for the bolts?

I know Larry, but I have been going to the track and some of the clubs are requiring additional rollover protection. Hence the need for the top. I had one and sold it with my 996 and now I need another.

Thanks for the offer, but I fear that the shipping alone would be expensive enough to offset the great price. Than I have to buy the parts for my car and paint the top.
