Anyone know the correct size of the bolts that hold down the hardtop? I need to move my 3 and need to install the top and it's winter here.
 
The correct ones are specials, not a standard size. The 3 front ones are chromed, necked down (unthreaded) where they go through the hardtop, and pointed. ISTR the rear ones are similar, but not chromed.

Sorry, don't know the thread size offhand, but I can check later this evening if no one else knows.
 
Moss has them listed in there parts catalog. Part # 801-565 (5 required) and part # 801-560 (3 required). Not cheap.
 
Just got 'em from TRF. Checking w/ my tap and dies, the 5 for the rear are 1/4 28. The fronts are funny; 5/16 too small and 3/8 too big....
 
So that's 1/4" bolt for the rears. Is that 28 threads to the inch? Maybe the fronts are Whitwoth? Thanks for the info guys.
