Default C4 TARGA TOP INSTALLATION

I just purchased a targa top for my '93 Vette from ebay.
The Problem: The front mtg. holes on the TOP are 31.5" apart.
The front mtg. holes on the CAR are 32.5" apart.
What is the most cost effective, and easiest method to install this top to the car??????

Take a photo of the bottom of the top at the front so I can see which one they sent you! Design (1,2 or 3)The best way is to use the correct top for the vehicle year!! The first 2 designs had problems,Rattles,Squeaks and Leaks!!

You can change out the mounting hardware on the vehicle it's self but that will take finding used brackets and inside windshield trim for the right design!!
(3rd design brackets and trim is all thats available from GM now days!!)
I've seen a couple people modifying the 2nd design top to fit a 3rd design car!!
But my self I'd be concerned about the structural integrity of the roof in a rollover situation!
