Putting a wind deflector on my 79 and when attaching the brackets the bolts broke. Have been everywhere and they don't exist. Bought 1 from AR and stripped it by using the nuts that came off of the original bolt. Now they don't have any more and don't know hen they will get some. So, does any one have them? Let me know.

Re: Top Convertable frame bolt
I think those bolts ends were peened over so they would not loosen. It is common for that bolt to brake when nut is removed. Ask me how I know. I purchased a slightly longer bolt that was same thread diameter and used a nylon lock nut to install the wind screen bracket. The original bolt had a larger diameter shank then the thread diameter that is why its hard to find.
