Thank you Joe Kriz (X2). Looking at the instructions you supplied it appears using a "wellnut" or similar anchor is sufficient to anchor the brackets. I have not actually received the top yet as the owner had to make a short trip out of town. After seeing what he has I will be able to form a plan.

I don't want to do a amateurish install on such a iconic boat. Thanks again for taking the time to help.
