Any source for extra long Lift-the-Dot studs?  Triple height?  Need to faster three clips.

Thanks John;  I couldn't find longer studs so I did what you suggested.  Took some 10-32 Stainless screws and turned them to length.

Glad you made your own.  My upholstery guy had them in stainless steel for our 34 Ford Phaeton.  40 years ago he also had the doubles in brass for the 15 Model T.

Just where on the T did you use the lift-a-dot?

I needed to connect the side curtain and top fabric to the folding top irons on my 1931 Buick roadster.

Sorry, that question was meant for Paul...

Oldford.  You are correct, they were not lift a dots, they were twist the tung fasteners.  Sorry, that was 40 years ago.
