Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Morning folks, Just got up very early after meeting a guy half way up the country to fit his hardtop to mine, after buying on ebay. His 1999, I think, 996, has pins, where I seem to have threads, 2004 c4s, and therfore wouldn't secure in. He's headed back home with it whilst I look for a solution. Any ideas please? I find articles on a 996 top on a 997 but not being able to put a 996 on a 996 BTW I did try and search the forum but on my phone the search function will not work properly Thanks Mark

Found this article http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?p=1044982 Now, I believe he has the older C and D. By the look of it, I believe I have B mounts and therefore require A bolts to be put onto the hard top? But hard to figure out the part numbers from that article. If anyone has any experience please let me know Thanks
