My 914-6 GT Clone came with some pretty difficult to use fixed targa top mounts. They bolt the rear of the top to the targa bar where the factory latches once were. I have all the original hardware to return the latches, which I'd like to do especially after installing a GT roll bar where access to the bolts is limited.
Before I swap back, is there any significant structural reason for these fixed mounts I should consider. I don't mind loosing a bit of rigidity in the top mount for the convenience of being able to remove the top easily. My car is mostly a street runner but I do take it to Lime Rock occasionally. I presume that the GT roll bar I added has also strengthened the targa section of the car and may mitigate any flex in the car from the factory top set up. Thanks, John Attached thumbnail(s)

Does your roll bar bolt to the shoulder belt mount?
