Default Lift-the-dot stud question
I am wondering what everyone is using for the Lift-the-Dot studs to attach a top and tonneau to their Cobra.
There seem to be two types for this use, a machine screw version, and a self-tapping screw version.
I'd like to use a machine screw version with a washer and nut.
Is there one that is long enough to use on my fibreglas-bodied CSX4000 Cobra?
I'm not sure that a self-tapping one would be strong enough over the long run.
Your thoughts?
