1972 cutlass convertible top diagram

Does anyone have a link to the convertible chassis diagram. I cannot find a diagram needed to order parts. I am specifically looking for the "adjustment flat plate which is located on the convertible rail on left rear rear side" I do not know the actual name but my convertible top guy said this plate will help adjust the top. At some point before I purchased the car someone either removed the plate and put in a bolt. It goes without saying that the lack of a plate is causing other issues like the metal arm sagging on driver side. I was told that this adjustment item is near the piston. Appreciate any feedback as it looks like Year One and OPGI and others do not have them. If I had a diagram I could be more productive in identifying the parts needed. Sorry for this long winded posting.

My 1971 Fisher Body Manual has fairly detailed drawings of the top assembly, can you take a pic of the area you're referring to?

72 convert. top parts

Hi, I was able to find a diagram of the part needed. Please see hand diagram and one from 72 Chassis Book. The part on lower left had side is two serrated plates with a bolt going through it. Without the part the rail sags on driver side. Does anyone have these parts? or have suggestions where to find it. I checked Hemmings and could not find it.
