I read that and it doesn't make any sense to me. You can see from the literature there are 4 screws to attached the base, and I have personally seen them on a 69 Dart flop top and they had screws. I wonder if the tape is used as a method of locating everything until the screw holes are drilled? As for mine it was easy, I located the base and pin, marked everything and drilled the holes.
