Default Hard Top Question
I’m in the process of re-doing my hard top and have come across a spot where something appears missing... There are 4 rivets that held something on but appears missing....any ideas or pictures of what I’m missing??

That is where the center bracket attaches to the hardtop. My '71 has it.
Does your car have the center hole with the ferrule installed?




Here is a photo from the from sale section.

Early '68 hardtops did not have the center mounting bracket - not sure if the late '68 hardtops had them or not. I believe it was a '69 -'75 thing.
