lift gate hinge hardware

[croft75]

Hi just reassembling a hard top I got , the lift gate was off it when I started
What type of bolts are used to attach it too the roof, the hinge is good, are they a low profile bolt or?

Not sure what they are on the inside, but they're somewhat low profile phillips head screws. The '72 in the first pic were just plain screws, while the '77 top in the second pic had flange head phillips screws.
Can't guarantee they're all original, but they seem to work.




Sorry the pics are a bit dark, but hopefully you can see enough.

There's 2 wavy metal plates on the other side of the opening that the screws screw into, one for each hinge. You can just make them out of 2 pieces of 1/8 inch flat stock. Drill holes to match the hole positions at the hinges. then tap the holes to match your screws. or just use self-taping screws.
