1964 convertible

["Wm. R. Ulman" <twolaneblacktop@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had a support bar snap on my '66 Imperial once when I was putting the
top down (It snapped from the pressure due to the achor on one of the
floor supports being broken).  Both the floor support, and the bar
itself (which could not be found, and did no need to be it turned out)I
had welded back into place.  The floor support you cannot see, and the
bar on the top frame you can not see unless you are looking for it as
they are painted black.

Good morning all:

I have a little problem with our 1964 crown convertible.  Both of the
support arms for the top have broken at the bottom.  I'm a little
surprised at this since it is a low mileage very nice original car.
These arms are a rather complicated looking casting that other parts of
the top mechanism

attach to.  There is a right and left one that are above the rear window
area that support the rest of the top.  They pivot at the bottom on a
pin or
bar.                     Right now the top is up, but cannot be put
down
without the
arms coming loose from the bar or pin they ride on.

Has anyone had experience repairing or replacing something like this?
Does anyone know if a replacement part is available?  This is a very
nice car that deserves to be back on the road again.

You can reply privately to grandcar@xxxxxxxxxxxx if you like. Thanks
very much for your assistance,

Robert, Durango, Colorado
