Hardtop litgate mounting

Does anyone have a pic of the 2 backing plates that the hinges on the top of lift gate mount to and also what type of bolts to use .
Or is it a nut and bolt type thats used
Thankx

Just getting ready to install again. Had my plates plated, but I'm unsure of the mounting bolts too. I think they're Phillips's pan head machine screws with washers (flat and lock) and nuts. At least that's what's in my bag of parts from it but the PO could have changed them. I'm also assuming the sections with the holes face down. Not sure why it's corrugated like this, and if someone knows which way it's supposed to face, please let us know. Couldn't get a camera up there when I was disassembling and it's been a few years %).

Speed nuts go onto the raised sections of backing plate. I used stainless steel flat head screws to screw into the speed nuts. Hope I was clear on that. Good luck

The hatch uses oval head screws (like pan head, but slightly raised) into tooth washer lock nuts.
