I don't know. Mine never had nuts. Just long bolts that passed through the
hardtop mounting flange into the pressnuts in the car. I remember tightening
the bolts until I thought the gasket was compressed enough. Perhaps I was
just missing the nuts and the nuts will allow the bolt to be run down tight
with
the nuts maintaining the proper gasket compression. But I never had trouble
with the bolts backing off without the nuts in place.
But that was 10 years ago. I traded that car for a TR3 and kept the 71.
BTW the hard top turns the TR6 into a very comfy coupe.
