As with many of the parts these appear to be NLA. But perhaps someone may know where to get a coup in good shape? Mine have stripped threads that attached to the body sides.

so i guess you have a '73 coupe? so have you tried to re-tap them or put an actual bolt through them into the body?

You can also weld new nuts to the hoop, but bolts would be easier.

Yes its a 73 and yes I spent a hour trying to get the bolt into the stripped holes - thought I had checked this - then removed the Bows and found the problem. If there are not any available I can rework them to a larger bolt via re-tapping the hole.

Thanks!
