Hi,

So I need to get a new top and the '79 Midget uses this funky velcro  
tab(?) to attach the top at the front quarter by the window... mine  
are shot/non-existum and I question the long term effectiveness at  
holding a shrinking/expanding top anyway and I am thinking about  
placing posts at those points and fitting an older top, but I could be  
convinced otherwise on the sanity of both these points.

Well, after a limited amount of shopping I have not found a source for  
the replacement velcro bits ... so it is looking like the posts and I  
think I would rather replace them with a tenax connector anyway. So  
the questions follow:

Can one (easily) get into that area to put in a machine threaded post  
or would a sheet metal thread be easier. Another option is I found a  
plate held by two sheet metal screws with a post centered.

I am thinking given where the post needs to go a sheet metal threaded  
one may be the best option. Thoughts from the group? Also anyone know  
where I can source just two of these posts? I don't need 10 and I  
don't need both the post and pull.

Thanks,
-m
