I am about to restore the soft top that came with my '68. I wanted to check how the frame mounts to the car? I can see a threaded post either side of the car where the frame attaches, but I don't have any mounting hardware. Could someone post a picture of what this area should look like with original parts?

Thanks

Basic mounting: the frame should have a hole in it that goes on the threaded post and is secured with a nut. Substitute my J-hooks (for hardtop) with your soft top frame:



There is a metal "tang" next this for slipping your soft top cloth into..I don't have this but many do,
zoom in:

Alvins picture shows a early set up. On my 69 there is just the post you spoke of, but just like Alvibs it’s just a washer then the frame followed by another flat washer and an acorn nut.
Don’t forget the flat tension bar that goes in the bottom rear of the soft top.
