Can you add my name to the list?

I will mention this to Simon when I pick up (I hope!) my detachable hardtop next month.

I've found time to do a bit more work on this project now. This is designed to suit the new structural roll-hoops (prototype due next week).

What do you think?

Dear Simon:

Keep me in mind for a roll bar and twin bubble cover.

Sincerely,

Also interested but dependent on cost and ease of fit. Not sure what 'structural roll hoops' are. Indesign with the tonneau or would I need to fit roll hoops seperatly?

Certainly looks good, really changes the car in a complimentary way.
I'll keep an eye on this thread fro progress. Kuching did an excelelnt job on the hard top so I have every faith in what he can do with the information he is provided with!

An absolutely miniscule amount of searching, and lo and behold, look what's revealed:

STRUCTURAL ROLL-HOOP

:roll:

But hey, why change the habit of a lifetime?!?

Don't hide it Neil, i happen to agree with you here :!: . obviously Jason's pampering Stef to much & she's come to expect it :wink:

Looks amazing,


Just one thing are we aiming to retain the functionality of the convertible top with this design?
For me that would be most important. well maybe not most but up there.
