[Roadsters] snaplets

[Paul]

  If Gordon says they're twisties and posties then that's what they are!

  I use the same dab of silicone sealant trick, not only to hold those small
nuts & washers but to help prevent rust.  It seals up the holes nicely.  The
same trick works wonders when working with the side trim.

That works. Here's another way.

I just put a dab of silicone sealant on my fingertip and stuck the nut and
lockwasher in it. Then I pressed my fingertip up against the hole and
screwed the postie (that's the technical term for it) into it. Worked like
Loktite.

BTW, you'll usually hear them referred to as "posties" and "twisties." I
have no idea what the real names are.  ;-)

not sure what they are called - the things that the convertible top or
tonneau snaps onto.

anyway, i'm no expert or big mechanic, but last weekend i had to put those
in.  three out of four on each side are easy, but that fourth one caused me
to stop and think.  this is my own little way of solving that problem.

i've documented the process on my website (www.ranteer.com/davescars/datsun)
if you click on the update link in beginning it will jump right to it.

here are the direct links.  i hope it helps at least one other person!
