On my b24 they are fastened together with threaded rod for the bolts and the nut end sticks out on the cabin handrail with a acorn nut on it. I could grab the end with vise grips to get them out. They unscrewed pretty well as it was only in wood no metal to bond.

Have two people when you install. That’s the tricky part. I also overdrilled the cabin top holes filled with epoxy and then the bolt hole through the epoxy. No core leaks!!

They sound the same, screw head is recessed. Best of luck,

Ken
