53 convert

[okiedokie]

A friend has asked me about finding a center top latch for the 53 Sunliner they inherited. I have no idea, can anyone provide any info? Thanks.

Maybe a a wanted ad in classifieds would be a starting point.

A couple of sources I have had success with for odd-ball stuff like this are Southside Obsolete ("barndfind08" on this forum) and Shoebox Central, who seem to have a bunch of used parts https://shoebox-central.com/52-53-ford-parts.

This is what you are looking for. Good luck, they are one of the hardest pars to find, if you own a convertible. The are made out of pot metal, and are very brittle and break very easily, if you stress them.

If sources Tubman referred to do not have the part, youre friend might have to find a machinest. Tom.

It might take a while to find one, but they do come up from time to time. Good luck
