Default 70 soft top mount

Does anyone know if the soft top mounts, behind the quarter panels that the top frame mounts to, are replaceable? One of the bolts holes are stripped and would like to replace the whole mount plate rather than try to drill the hole bigger. If it is replaceable, where could I find the part and how easy or difficult is it to replace.

I did a post on that subject. It is a common problem. You should be able to do a search in the archives. I explained in detail how to remove, repair, and replace the plate.
