Are the front two bolts that stay in the top the same as the rear two bolts that are removable? Is there any difference in length, diameter or thread size? Thanks

Thanks. CC has them for sale but they are described as "the rear bolts". Wasn't too sure that they weren't different.

My '85's bolts are definitely different in the shape of the head. Both are a "pan" type bolt but the fronts have a more elongated cylinder shape as opposed to the regular domed pan shape. I would call the retailer also to make sure before you buy.

'84-86E are different from later years but I thought I would mention the difference of my bolts. You dont want to become a member of the "flying top club".
