Single wall top holes

Are these chrome brackets that go over the holes on a single wall top factory option? Are they just for looks or are they to keep bolt heads from rubbing the fiberglass? Thanks!

I have them on mine and I think they're factory. Probably for both aesthetics and to spread the load out a bit on the bolts to the fiberglass so it doesn't crack out.

They are factory and I think yours are on upside down.

Those aren't mine. Just some I seen on a single wall top. My single wall does not have any, can I order them? Because I know that my bolts cut into the fiberglass some.

Those ones are probably on upside down to hold the side panels on


Best bet is to check the parts board they aren't reproed. I would expect them to be easy to come by.

No, pretty much make something up that describes them best. If you do a good enough job maybe it will stick :lol:

Just buy some s.s stock and bring it to a sheet metal shop to have the bend put on in a brake and even the holes punched. then poish them up. they with work good and be shiny!!
