Hardtop question

Can anyone tell me (or better show me in a picture) what is used to secure the factory hardtop in the middle on a 73. I don't know if it's just a nut and washer or what? Does it use a bigger clip (for lack of a better term) like the outside ones? Any help would be great.

Thanks alot

Here's everything you need to fasten the hardtop down in the middle...

The bolt has a square shank at the top, like a carriage bolt, that locks in the bracket on the top.

Good luck... GUSTO

Thanks guys........can you tell me if the big rubber washer goes between the top and the ferrel, or is it just ferrel to top? Mine came with the hardtop but nothing to hold it down in the center just the corners. It looks like the small rubber washer and regular washer go under the nut inside??

Thanks again, Tall
