Cab Bolts?
Anyone know where I can get a new set of cab bolts(for lack of a better word) and the anchor clips they bolt into? What I am talking about is the bolts that anchor the removable hard top to the bdoy of the Bronco as well as the "clips" that are on the body itself that the bolts "bolt into". Clear as mud? I don't know how to better describe them but I need at least a few new ones as the shell is begining to rattle and the bolts don't seem to want to tighten anymore. Any source for new ones other than going to a junkyard to pull them off a beat up old Bronc?

The bolts should be metric. With a 90 thankfully you don't have tamper-proof Torx to deal with. The nuts are usually referred to as "spring nuts" as they are stamped and formed from spring steel. How many do you need? I think I have a couple of sets of them along with the ones I don't use in my own top.
I hold the top on mine with four bolts only. Two long ones that run into the front upper corners and two at the rear corners of the bed. The nice thing about running this way is you don't need ANY of the spring nuts because the nuts for the upper bolts are captive in the roof steel and the rear four holes are tapped into a reinforcement beam in the rear corner of the bedrail.
