T Top Installation Question

After taking the roof panels off about two years ago, before the rebuild. It seems like I misplaced a part that the rear T Top latch presses against to lock in place. Can someone tell me what the latch locks against? I looked in the assembly manual and it does'nt show anything specifically to install for this.

I think this is what you are looking for:

Corvette Pillar Roof Lock Pin, Rear, 1968-1977
Reproduction Of Original
Item# A2690
In Stock

$6.50 ea.
You will also need these:

Corvette Roof Lock Pin Trim Plate, Left, 1968-1977
Stainless Steel
Includes Stainless Steel Screws
Item# A2691L
In Stock

$11.99 ea.

It is easy to forget what goes where after a long time apart. I also forgot about these during my 69 resto. Use a socket on the triangular mounting pin when you get to tightening it. Good luck!
BTW...our supporting vendor Ecklers supplied the pics.

Thanks RED69, I do have these parts installed. What i'm looking for is what part does the rear latching mechanism lock against. Similar to the front latch locking to the underside of the winshield chrome corner piece.

T-Top latch base

See if these help jog the memory - I know how it is. Even with bagging and tagging stuff, I came up with a few WTF is it...

Sorry that they are a little fuzzy..

These 2 pieces are actually the only thing I can't seem to locate so far and im almost finished. So I guess it was worth the time it took.
