HAB832C Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 (edited) Should the captive rear fixing nuts on an original factory steel Surrey roof float? My roof has been has been resprayed (thick undercoat and top coats) off the car (and retrimmed), and the fixing bolts no longer line up. If they should float, I’ll go scraping to free them. Many thanks, John Edited June 16 by HAB832C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 (edited) No the rear ones are fixed spot welded flanged nuts, the fronts are floating in cages. Stuart. Edited June 16 by stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
