Kayline soft top measurements

I bought a kaykine soft top super cheap, but its missing the 2 mouning bracket C channel peices where the bars mount. Any chance anyone with a kayline soft top could take some measurements for me?

Sure thing, i have the installation instructions too if i can find them. I bought my top off Ebay but was brand new never installed.
i paid $600. I am curious what you paid?

Engineering-wise they are a crappy design but they look the best i think.
i'll get you some measurements today after it stops raining.

Here are the dimensions of the mounting bracket:
length 5.65"
width 1.29"
height 1.25"
metal thickness .0755"
pivot holes ctr to ctr 5.15"
hole ctr to side and top edge .232" (approx.)

As to the mounting holes i would just work with the existing hole (hardtop bolt hole) under the bracket.
​​​​​​​I was able to .pdf the Kayline instructions but don't know how to link it. So if you send me an email i'll send them to you.Detomasofradiavolo@gmail.com

Follow this link and select 4runner to get high quality instructions. STC is the same as Kayline with this kit. Advice: self tap that bracket in with a few small well placed self tappers, rather than drilling out the spots they specify. It is really easy for your drill bit to slip on the ridge/bodyline. Hard to explain but you will see.
