top bolt removal
just wanted to make sure of the size of the security torx head for the hard top before i buy a new one
T-40?
also i cant find the speed nuts on jeffs graveyard, does anyone know where to get those or provide me with a search term
also i was able to get new bolts for the horizontal serfices, but cant find the bolts that are long enough for the sloped and top serfices. any ideas?
thanks

I just reuse old bolts I've had my parts truck apart 6 times and they held find for it. T40 . I just buy torx kit for cordless drill get whole set cheap like $10 .00 . Put bit in socket (tape in ) long 1/4" extension or
long shank for the drill . Work every time as they don't torx much.

Well the problem is, its not easy now, most of the horizontal ones were stuck in and i even had to cut the top of one off. Before i could get all of them off, i droped the bit and lost it in the truck(no idea where it could be). But i still have enough of the new bolts in to hold it.
as long as it was a T40, i should be good for now

Check with wrecker they have core motors (swaps for one they sell) At least all my local guys do. Or a truck sitting for them. I Gather up extras all time but by time I'd ship them you could find one near you.
