Default T top retainer

I have a 1976 and one of the t top retainer brackets is missing
The two in the back are there
I am missing the one towards the front
I was wondering if anybody could tell me where exactly the third one goes and if anybody had a picture
I am assuming it goes between the seats on that wall but I'm not sure
Any help would be great thanks

Hi j,
If the bracket for your 76 is in the same location as the one in my 71 here you go!
Regards.
Alan

You'll have to probe through the carpet to find the location for the 2 mounting screws.

Hi J,
I guess the strap fastening point must have changed?
Sorry!
Regards,
Alan
