top installation

hello, i am installing a new hood on my TC and need to know the spacing dimension of the screw and cup washers
used to hold the bottom rear of the deck to the rear hood rail. it came with 9 screws and cup washers and 2 lift
the dot fasteners. i presume the lift the dot fasteners are at the very ends of the row. not sure exactly the placement of the lift the dot fasteners. any help will be greatly appreciated. cheers

According to the Moss Top Installation Hints the 9 screws should be pitched at 5" intervals.

This piccie shows the right side termination of the hood securing strip on my car.....

The final fixings of the hood to the tack rail are 'dot snaps' at each back corner. These are released to fold and stow the hood.

As it was done originally:
13 flanged screw cup washers
4 #8 x 3/4" slotted countersunk wood screws
9 #8 x 5/8" slotted countersunk wood screws.
2 lift the dot snap screw studs and snap assemblies.

The 3/4" screws are used to attach the webbing strips and top to the back rail.
The snap screw studs are used at the front corners of the rail.
Space the balance of them evenly across the back.

No Lift the Dot fasteners were used originally on the hood.
