Looking for hardware for 65-79 B body convertible top frame

I need the special bolts which attach the top cylinders to the frame and the floor. 

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

The illustration from the 1968 GM B body manual below shows the bolts, washers and bushings I am missing for my car. 

1965-68 should fit; not sure about 69-70. 

Thanks

Thanks for reminding me about this supplier. They appear to have some of what I need on their web site but I have to phone them tomorrow to verify.

I got some parts as well from Classic Industries but the shipping cost is high and the time very long, likely because of the pandemic.

Not sure that anyone has all that I need but I'm hoping I can piece it all together from multiple suppliers.

Classic is a supplier so the reason they don't have the part is they have to order from the source. Hydro Electric is the source for many of the convertible parts found in the industry.

I've dealt with Hydro Electric in the past. Very good to deal with and the quality of the parts was good (cylinders).

Agreed, the couple of times I've dealt with them they were professional to deal with, knew their stuff, had it in stock, good quality stuff and shipping was super efficient.

Bought some of the parts from them today. The salesperson was quite helpful. She saved me time and energy trying to figure out what I needed form the online catalogue. The stuff is already on the way. 

Thanks for the recommendation.
