Smile hard top hardware

you can turn down the head on a 5/8" x 2" stainless bolt till it's .2" thick and round. See the picture.
Then you can drill and tap a 5/16" hole in it. Drill a hole in the body of the Cobra, per the picture.
Use a washer and nut on the bottom side.
Take a 5/16" bolt, I think, 1 1/2" long and weld half a washer onto it to make a wing nut.
Drill your holes in the top and use the 5/16" bolt and washer to hold it down. I done it on a couple of Cobras. We first tried the clamp thing but this worked better.
The stainless can be polished and look like they belong on the car.
