Default Hardtop Fitting Kit Bolts - Replace with non-GT Bolts

Hey folks,

I want to remove the fitting kit from my recently acquired S2000 to pass on as a complete fitting kit, i.e. with the bolts.

So I'll need to replace the bolts with shorter ones in my car won't I?

Does anyone know the sizes and lengths I need? Is there a non-GT bolt kit at all?

Thanks in advance!

They are just standard metric bolts, any decent hardware store will sell them
Just take one side out and measure them, if my memory is correct they do nothing other than hold the hard top bracket so should be no issue to take a set out from one side and take them to the hardware store

I've done this, cant remember if its M6 and M8 bolts, or M8 and M10. Whichever combination it is you need 4 of each, approx 20-30mm long.

Don't you just re-use the bolts which are already in the chassis when fitting the HT kit? I've fitted a few but can't remember. There's 3 bolts per side but I thought they were already installed, GT or not.

There's four bolts per side. The ones with the hardtop fitting kit are longer than standard so I assume the OP is doing as I did and wanting to sell the kit with the longer bolts to make the item more saleable!!
