Would please need photos of the convertible top lock catch

bond007

As title says, I'm restoring my '78 convertible top seals and I think I am missing some stuff in the top lock catch area, as it's quite difficult to align the "J" hooks into their proper slots...I might be missing the centering pins. Can someone please post a photo of this area on your post-73 'vert, or any schematic would help as well? Any help appreciated, thanks

Thanks

I've got a '74. I'm at work tonight, but will try to get a pic tomorrow morning and get posted before I work tomorrow afternoon.

See someone beat me to it, but here's a closeup of the latch (top down):

And here's a pic (sorry, not real clear) of the latch "receiver" above windshield:
