Hardtop attachment?

What type of "bolts" are correct to hold the 74 hardtop secure at the rear seal? Is it the same taper point like on the ragtop OR is just a threaded bolt, then using a washer and nut to secure?

Thanks....

Here's a good thread about hardtop studs vs pins:

THanks! That thread was very good. I think I will use the washer / hand nut method with a clear gasket to protect from paint rub. It rattles when using the factory pins.
