ACME CJ8 hard top I think?

[retiredFF42]

I have a 1982 CJ8 and I bought a full length hard top for it shortly after buying the Jeep. Over the last 9 months I have installed a new 4.0 engine and a new AX15 from Novak, a new radiator, rebuilt the Dana300 added a twin stick, added a Holley Sniper EFI and in tank fuel pump, replaced all the brakes and worked to get the hard top ready to install. I have looked at all of the posts related to the various hard top types and I think that my hard top is an ACME. It has 1 fixed pane and 1 sliding pane on each side and a small window in the lift gate. I have been unable to find any pictures of an installed hard top that specifically shows how it should be installed. I need to know how it is held in place, what type of latches should be used for the windshield and how the sides of the hard top is secured to the sides of the tub. If someone has the time to take a couple of pictures I would be grateful!

Acme tops have a smooth gel coat interior surface. They used latches currently available from McMaster Carr.
The last Acme full top I had could use clamps and also had holes where it could be mounted with bolts through the top lip of the top.
Post a few pictures of your top and it can be identified.

Small window in the lift gate is usually a Classic brand if I recall correctly. Pics would help!

Not an Acme. Most likely a Classic or Grizzly.

Thinking that’s a Grizzly top.
