Whilst adjusting the panels on my 90 t'other day, I was looking at the bolts and brackets that hold the side panels to the tub, and they look like a bodge job. The last owner converted it from soft top to hard top, and I'm sure he didnt use the right fittings. Does anyone have pictures of what it is supposed to look like, and either description or part numbers for what is supposed to be there.

IIRC on a 90 you will have 4 long bolts, located in the coerners of the body capping, which go through the roof panel brackets, and secure the top to the tub, with a couple of shorter bolts doing exactly the same on each side of the door.

You can see a couple of the bolts, oldseadog is talking about, in this picture.
There are also small 90 degree brackets between the bolts, but I can't find a picture if those. Yet!

Here we go. Look just below the join in the rear window panels. You might be able to open the image in a new tab and zoom in on it. They are little 90 degree angle brackets and a bit of a pain to fit and pull the side panel down tight on the seal.
EDIT
Just realised it's a high resolution image so you just need to click on it to enlarge it.

Now that's interesting. I'm missing the brackets in the middle of the panels. Hmmm. Dont suppose you have pics of the front brackets do you?
