If you want to get the top on at short notice, you can get away without the
brackets to the B-pillars (if you are missing those right now). In that
case, all you need is a pair of 1/2"-head bolts (can't remember thread size,
but it's whatever UNC thread normally comes with a 1/2" head) to hold the
hard-top to the windscreen, and another pair to hold the hard-top to the
rear deck. The ones to the windscreen need to be roughly the right length -
too short and they'll not thread in of course, and too long and they will
bottom out on the outer skin of the hard-top before they are tight against
the windscreen frame. If there is somewhere between 1/2" and 1" left when
the end of the bolt starts to screw into the nut you'll be fine.
If you have got the side brackets, they just need a 7/16" head UNC bolt each
side - one of the ones that usually holds the soft-top frame on will do.
If you are like most Triumph owners, I'd be surprised if some appropriate
bolts aren't lying around somewhere in your garage!
