Does anyone out there have some pix of a hard top install? Wanting to know where and how the mounts under portholes on either side of top fit and how they are secured. Putting top on a 69 2L.

Search "+hardtop +hold" for a picture.

Usually there is an L bracket that you install a eye bolt.

I use a not on both sides of the L bracket to limit the pressure on the seal. I also install a piece of rubber tube inside the eye to take up the extra space on the top pivot bolt.
