Translation, please
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.
