Folks
I've temporarily misplaced the rear fasteners for the roof rack on my 78. Can someone point me to the nut, bolt, washer arrangement? and sizes. Should've taken pics when i took it apart 
Thanks
PS i see 4 rubber washers, does anyone know where they go?[/u]

A rear roof rack on a 1978 Westfalia? Is this a pop top or tin top camper?

its a pop top[/s]. the luggage rack is in the front. it is fastened down by 4 bolt/nut/washer arrangements on the rear (of the rack)...i don't know what that looks like, additionally it has 4 screws down to tabs: 2 in the front of teh rack and one on each side.
what screw+bolt+washer combo holds the rear of the rack down? Also where do 4 rubber washers go?
thanks

thanks BusDaddy, that explains where the rubber washers go...that thread is all about the screws, which I got right. the question is the bolts on the back of the luggage rack. there are 4 of 'em. that's what i'm trying to find out more about.

my research showed this thread
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=...highlight=
but its for a vanagon. Need a similar thread for a late-bay. Also where to source, and what those are. I'm talking about 12A on the top left of that explored view.
