Whatsa "poit bolt" as in ". . . the same car has a complete Morris Minor saloon top fitted, this being secured coupe fashion with two clamps on the windscreen, and a single poit bolt fixing at the rear."

Would it be threaded, or have a hole for a hitch pin?

What, sort of a typo, like "...single-point bolt fixing..." perhaps??

then again perhaps they mean a Poit Bolt as in Anglo Saxon for the oak dowel used to connect the cruck timbers of a long house.

or the nickel plated Poit Bolt named after the quick release wheel fixing on Le Poit Celebre, the Chenard & Walcker that won the Le Mans 24 hour race in 1923, driven by Frenchmen A.Lagache and R.Leonard....?


call my bluff

Mmm,

Poit na h-I. Standing Stone on the Isle of Mull, but............

Google asks me if I meant to search for point, so I'd go for No.1. That's what Frank Muir would do.

Wow, is it really 81 years since Le Poit Celebre won Le Mans.....

Seems like only yesterday...

Ah yes, I remember it well.
