Source for original-style hardtop hold-down nuts
 

Does anyone know of a source for the rectangular 'nuts' used to hold a
CJ-7 hardtop on the body?

I don't think they'd be hard to make for a metal shop--basically a
~3/4 x 1-1/4" piece of 1/4" steel with a threaded hole in the
middle--but I was hoping someone had already gone to the trouble...

Thanks,
Heath

im not sure of the size.. but... the ones on my tj were rectangular pieces of
steel with a threaded hole in the middle.. try the dealer.. of course they
didnt even have those in stock, and they were pretty expensive...

I have asked a dealer about these, and was told they're no longer
available (for the CJ), but I haven't seen a TJ up close and it didn't
occur to me that they might be compatible.
