Based on the wording of the question the answer is 10.

Each mounting plate is made with two separate pieces.

OK..you are correct!...I see the upper mount plates each have an inside and an outside piece....Correct answer TEN!

OK - I was going to let this go (but) I don't think the  '89,s had these (at least not the convertible I saw).  It had hydraulic lifts.

The '89 Avanti coupe would probably use the earlier rather complicated hinge, but yes, no doubt the convertible model would be different.

To me when two pieces are spot welded together, it becomes 1 piece, not two seperate. But what do I know????

I look at it the same way.... one piece....although if someone insists it's two pieces that's allright with old mfg!
