Find eyebolts with the same thread as the bolts that hold the top to the
windshield frame (UNF thread). Cut the eyebolt thread part just long
enough to engage all of the threads of the captive nuts at the windshield
end of the top and be secured in place with a lock nut. Acquire hook bolts
made of at least 1/4" dia steel with wood screw thread of at least 1.5"
long. Now find a nice spot on your garage wall, screw the hook bolts into
the studs and hang the top up by the eye bolts. If you have a problem
aligning the eyebolts to the stud width use short pieces of chain to make
up the difference. Problem solved ..........Larry (SPITMAN)
