[Mgs] convertible top frame/hoodsticks

[Oliver]

hi, all.

its chilly here in Dallas, and i'm not likely to drive with the top down 
anytime soon.  but the garage isn't so bad, and i'd like to take care of one 
nagging problem.

one the driver side of my 73 b roadster, the bottom screw/bolt is out.  i 
have the bolt, but the captive nut is gone.  what do i have to remove to get 
at the nut?

thanks and happy holidays to all.
