I'm looking for 2 lift the dot plate mounted studs. These go on either side of my cowl mounted rear view mirror.
In America please.

Thanks,

Bruce,

I really appreciate your offer. The one I'm looking for requires 2 oval head screws to mount.

AMAZON has them. Also, check with Auto or boat upholstery shops. ACE Hardware usually has them.

George is correct, but then full tonneau covers were not on MG TD's from the factory either.

Whatever it is, you need the same to fill the exiting holes!

Thanks Lew. I only need two. This is my LAST project after over 50 years. More than two would just be lost in the usual junk. Not looking for free.

George some previous owner had relocated the studs. Now in stead of two holes in the cowl I have fore holes. When painting the car they didn't bother to fill the unused holes. Just another sloppy job I'm trying to make right.
