1963r2 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) I seem to remember 2 on the outside and 1 on the inside of the triangular section. I could very well be wrong. Maybe someone who is currently doing the job will let us know. pb Edited May 25, 2020 by 1963r2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avanti83 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) I looked over my pictures and Dick Steinkamp's write up and only see two. I drilled two holes to get at them and the CE hog troughs only have two holes in the rollbar bulkhead so until I see a picture or several of three bolts into the hog trough bulkhead, I sticking with 2 as the answer.

1963r2 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Yes I can only see 2 In photos. I will check my car later today to see what I did. pb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963r2 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Ok well my car has 3. Two pick up the inner part of the hog trough ( as per normal) and there is one on the outer lip between the roll bar and the door jamb . The only thing I can think of was that there was a hole in the bottom plate when I removed the bottom section of the roll bar and I assumed the bolt had rusted away so I put it back. pb Edited May 26, 2020 by 1963r2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
