You definitely need the two spacer sleeves that go over the front bolts. I
made some from
a bit of threaded pipe meant for fixing lamps, and a couple of thin nuts
soldered on the ends.
Unfortunately I installed my hardtop for the winter season a couple of days ago,
so I can't measure them for you...
You can leave off the side tie-down bars, but the top will flex and rattle a
bit.
I was lucky; I got a set with my hardtop.
