Location: Williams California | I'm looking for someone that has the convertible top boot snaps which are machine threaded, and the small rectangular 'nuts' that they screw into. Any info would be helpful.

Location: The Mile High City | Hi, John:
I wonder if these might work?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TONNEAU-CONVERTIBLE-LANDAU-BOAT-TOP-SNAPS-5-8-10-PCS-/130454393683?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e5fb01353&vxp=mtr the same manufacturer has other sizes too. Maybe you could call them and nail down all the parts you need. |

Location: Connecticut | Agree with LancerMike. Or just talk to an upholstery shop that does convertible tops. Preferably one that has been around a while. They may have some laying around that you can have for a few bucks. Ron |

Location: Ontario, Canada | Oh, wow, this is interesting!!! John, I have never seen those rectangular nuts to accept machine screws. All I have seen are simple sheet metal tapping screw domes and I have parted out at least three 59 Ply verts over the years!!
If you have the machine screw domes I can probably fix you up with appropriate nuts. Just give me the screw and nut size.
