You should have the large pin 7/8" diameter. Small pin is about 3/8". But the large pin t-top is actually dual fit, large and small. The outer large part is under spring tension and pushes in to expose the small pin. You could put on small pin tops if you find a smokin deal, but you'll have to change the pin receivers on the car to the small hole size.

I recently purchased a set of glass t-tops to replace my worn out pexiglass tops. The proble i have is my new tops are locked. i was tols there were just 2 clips to pop off and I could replace the locks with my original locks. I haven't been able to locate these clips. The glass tops' locks are pop riveted in.
How do I replace these locks? if no easy way, how do I break the locks so I can use the tops?

The rivets hold the cover on, it's there as a tamper resistant safety cover so the lock can't be easily removed by a thief. Once the cover is off, the lock can be removed. Reattaching the cover is optional.

I have a set in decent shape. The only thing I know about fitment is they WONT fit my 82. If you want them, ill sell em to you for 50 bucks but you pay shipping. They are heavy and fragile. PM me if yer interested.

Got the rivies out and my locks installed. Gonna keep the Lexan tops to ride out the winter (they do not leak) and keep these for spring. (leakage unknown)

Good deal! The lexan tops have a metal frame around it, and are thicker than the glass tops. When I switched my tops over from the lexan to the glass, I had to lower the front and rear pin receivers to latch them down tighter. They were a real sloppy loose fit otherwise.
