Damn and curse you for beating me to it!!! [smiley=badass.gif]   <br><br>Sure the hell can't wait to pick up Blipi at the end of the week now!!!  ;D<br><br>Sooooo good isn't it?!  Makes a whole new car!  You gotta come to Donington now and start an exclusive hardtop club  ;)<br><br>Did you go for a whole body re-spray?  Have you kept the hood under the hardtop?  Lots of info required on the fitting, type of seals etc...

Grahame,<br><br>(and Kuching by association!)<br><br>That looks fabulous!<br><br>Jim B

Stef<br>Didn't have a full respray though would have liked one, the ragtop is still on the car it seemed the better route for quickish swap overs. Simon and I installed the hardtop in about an hour (could have been quicker) not very complicated just fiddly, its realy a tribute to Simon and what he has achieved.

[Stef]

Yeah, first fit took about an hour for me too with Kucking.<br><br>Not tried a removal yet but hope it will be a 10-15 min swop over job!  I may have a play around as a 'demonstration' at Donington as available help will be around.<br><br>Hope we can compare at Donny!

[grahamec]

Stef<br>Are you having a full respray :'(

[Stef]

Yep, and wheel re-furb!  8)<br><br>Just need to clean out the inside and re-stick the carpet and she'll look good as new! ;D<br><br>Oh, and one rear light still required...

[Jeff]

looks great grahame!<br><br>Are those Goodyear Eagles that you are running?<br>

[grahamec]

Jeff<br>Yes they are, not been on long.

[Sy V]

Stef<br><br>Are you watching the A post seals auction too?

[Stef]

Why do you ask??

[Sy V]

The last time we talked (probably pissed in my back fields pre Shelsley) wasn't it you that asked about their availability...maybe it's me old brain playing tricks on me.<br><br> ???

[Stef]

Old brain... and more than likely alcohol  ;)

[Sy V]

Point conceded!

When do we pony up the $$$? [/quote]<br>Jack,<br><br>The hardtops produced so far have been fitted with a stock seal which seems to work pretty well... but I'm not entirely happy with it, so I decided to take the plunge and design a new seal specificaly for the hardtop (oh well!, I'm in it up to my neck already). This should be ready in time for Donington if all goes well.<br><br>As for exports, I'll have to ask for your patience again as the manufacturers are struggling to produce the tops in any quantities, but I am getting this sorted.

[Fubar1764]

Patience?! AIGH!<br> [smiley=banghead.gif] [smiley=banghead.gif] [smiley=banghead.gif]<br>Oh wait, I don't even have my M100 yet. . .never mind. <br>

Thanks for the update Simon<br><br>That means I'll apply my present seals with double-sided tape, only so that I can replace them easily with the new S cross-section seals.<br><br>Sy
