Does any one know the sizes of the hardtop bolts for the front, sides and back?

Same question for me :-)
My hardtop came with only one bolt in the centre back hole, and it makes a terrible racket when I drive with it on.
Not sure I'll be using it much - and it's a project in its own right - but methinks I need 3 bolts on there.

Cheers

Mine are metric M8x1.25, about 1.5" of thread and .25" of lead in.

Bought mine from McMaster and ground down the threads near the head like the one OEM Bolt I had.
