69 Cutlass convertible top lock bolt
This is a picture of one of the convertible top locks on my 69 Cutlass. This is a "before" picture. After restoring and reassembling the convertible frame I noticed this bolt is shouldered and I cannot tighten it enough to stop the header from moving side to side a small amount. Both sides are the same.
Is this normal? Or do I need to insert a washer to allow it to firmly hold the lock in place? i should have paid more attention when I took it apart.
Thanks
John

It's really got me stymied.

I understand what you're saying now. I don't think that's a problem as the bolt does tighten up but isn't holding the parts together tight. The shoulder just doesn't seem to let it go quite far enough to sandwich the parts together tightly.
