Want to buy: hardtop spinlock mounts and hardtop latch trim piece

[jakeru]

On my EBay search for spinlocks, I came across this oddity... seems like a ballstud positioned where the spinlock adapter would usually go.

Just curious; what do you guys make of it?

Looks like someone put in old school studs for fastening a tonneau cover to me. Sort of related, I've seen a lot of eBay listings for the receptacles that the spin locks go into without spinlocks, which always confuses me> Didn't all of these cars come with the receptacles installed from the factory?
