Default Hardtop hardware

I'm picking up a hardtop tomorrow that comes with no hardware. What do I need to secure it to my jeep?

Any nuts and bolts should work to get it home. Really, and size nuts and bolts that work right will do IMO.

Or- if u have a local hardware store, just buy a couple metric bolts (8mm) ... I bought a hardtop off CLs and run the whole top with standard bolts and washers.. Freedom panels I'm running 3" long 8mm bolts with bigger washers.

So how do I get the ones that go up through the soundbar? also, what about the backing plates? for those finger tightening screws, what nut matches up to them in place of backing plates?
