On the 1955 T Bird Hardtop, other than the pins that fit in top of the front windshield and the pins and handles that goes behind the seat, are there any other clamps or attachments that are suppose to be on the front attachment. There are some on the 1956

Yes, one on each side just behind the door jams.

do you have a source for obtaining the clamps or brackets for the front attachment above the windshiield?
 
CASCO, Concours, Larry’s, NPD, MAC’s, Tee-Bird products inc. Don’t forget the pins as well as the clamps if needed.

there are 3 clamps on each side, the rear 1/4 turn pin, front of the rear section just behind the door is a clamp, and a similar clamp on the windshield trim.20230324_150837.jpg20230324_150845.jpg20230324_150848.jpg

Thank you for the photos. I have a top shell that needs to be completely refurbished. I am concerned that the later pins are about 3/4" too wide for the location on the car itself.

If it is an original top and not a knock off there should be no issues. A tape measure will not lie.
