I have to admit my restoration did not include any bolts.
Sealant, which I purchased from Woolies was applied all around the roof opening.
The wood frame, fully covered was then dropped into the roof opening and sat on the internal metal strips that were screwed to the the fixed portion of the roof woodwork, this in turn pulled the roof frame into the recess and sealant.
The sliding rails were then screwed onto the covered roof frame and the sliding roof installed.
I never had woodwork to follow and all knowledge was based upon the to papers I posted many moons ago.
Cannot say my Ruby is as original but all looks ok
