I have a collection of posties from the various cars I've taken apart 
over the years (four at last count!). And there are just as many types 
of posties - the studs that the top and tonneau attach to.
Wondering which are the right ones.
1. long bolt - very odd thread - wants to be 3/8 but the thread is just 
not right. Guessing these are British and have some sort of wacky 
Whitworth thread. I have enough of these to use, if I can find some 
nuts that will fit.
2. two part posties - shorter mounting bolt - the tops screw off of the 
bolts. Checking Dann's site:

- these look like the originals.
Thanks for any pointers!
