Anyone know the screw or bolt thread size and length of the fasteners that fasten the top frame to the chassis?
Mounting the top for the first time after 34 years of ownership and ground up restoration in 2002. Frame and worn out top came with the car but weren't mounted.
New Robins Stayfast top arriving Thurs. and Apr 10 appointment scheduled at the upholstery shop for installation so I need to get the frame mounted pretty quickly.
Appreciate your help.

Hi Dean,
On Chris Couper's Site...( link below ).... they are identified as 1" long, #8 Oval Head Phillips Wood Screws. I used Stainless Screws when I recently completed my installation. Be certain to take your Side Curtains along. It is imperative that the installer considers the relationship of the Hood to the Curtains for a proper fit.
