Are you talking about the ones that go through the bow arm pivot into the bracket? The little black torx ones?

Yes sir. I dont want to get the quick disconnects for the bows because that will be a little less then what I paid for the whole top and surrounds.

you can drill all the way through the stock plastic connector and put a pin or bolt through easy enough also. The part where the torx screws into is just a thin (about 1/8") metal insert and drills through very easy. Something in the 4-5mm area is pretty close to the stock bolt size.

My stock plastic ones stripped out (the insert inside was turning) so I ended up buying a nice aluminum set http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JEEP-PARTS-TJ-WRANGLER-SOFT-TOP-DISCONNECTS-NEW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6763QQihZ001QQitemZ 8072061713QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
