Winger32... The GT 1 windshield is from mid 1960's corvette coupe. Trim will be from the same. They can be picked up from DIY for about $179. Eclkers is about $260. Ebay often has some listed. I understand that the windshields also fit 63-67 Chevy pickups. Find one of those in a junk yard?
I have had good luck with PGW (Pittsburgh Glass Works),they have stores countrywide

The bolts in question are bumper bolts. They are available in stainless capped, chrome head, or full stainless. Any auto body supply store should be able to fix you up. Auveco or Dorman are just two companies that offer them.

I have never heard of the pick-up reference before so I would use caution if you decide to go that route. Not saying it is wrong but this is the first time I remember seeing that referenced. For the exact year of Corvette do a search...it has been discussed hundreds of times before

1963 thru 1967 Corvette COUPE only!!! Windshield from the convertible won't fit properly. I seriously doubt the Corvette Coupe and Pickup Truck would have used the same windshield, but I'm Ford guy --- so what would I know.  Gary Hammond,   |

Hi, Winger,
Gary is correct about the 1963-67 Corvette coupe windshield for the Bradley GT (what you're calling a GT-1). The post-1977 rubber trim that Bradley provided is no longer available commercially, but the Corvette chrome shouldn't be too hard to find, although very costly if purchased new. Almost any auto glass house in America can get you the Corvette windshield, and prices will vary.
The T-top flange bolts are carriage bolts. Some auto houses reference them as bumper bolts. Chrome caps were on the heads of the carriage bolts that came with Bradley's kits, but I would suggest replacing them with stainless carriage bolts. Chrome rusts, but polished stainless looks almost as bright as new chrome, and a dumpload brighter than rusted chrome. Stainless doesn't rust.
You can get stainless carriage bolts at any good fastener house. I use Totally Stainless in Gettysburg PA, and Fastening Products of Lancaster in Lancaster PA.
If you're tearing down and reassembling your car, spend the longer bucks and replace every exposed fastener (nuts, bolts, washers, screws) with a stainless part. Bradley's choice of fasteners rusted after only a few months without garage storage. They were the only sub-standard parts in the GT kit, and they were SERIOUSLY sub standard.
Good luck with the car.

Looks like $260 plus shipping from Ecklers. EBAY has them for as low as $149 plus shipping.
