Default T Top adjustment bolt



The top picture is for 69 and later T top. Will this fit on the 68 T Top? Does it have the same threads as the lower picture?

Yes I think the 69+later rubber bumper bolt will fit the 68 tee top. Replacing the 68 hard acorn top bolt is a good way to go too to minimize wear, noise, ect.

I recieved the 69 T top hold down bolts. For what ever reason the threads don't match. BUT, if you use a 5/16 24 die and clean up the threads they will thread into a 68 T top just perfect. If you need to stop your T top from rattling, this is a good fix.
