I made this. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Takes about a minute to put on. It's in two pieces so is easy to move around, mount, dismount and store. Weighs about forty US pounds total. No rubber or windows in as yet. Will make those parts as soon as the material is delivered.
Cool! More pics would be great. How does it lock front and rear? What motivated you to do this project? Can you store it in the car when removed?
That is awesome!! If it had the rear sails like the spider top I would be in line to buy. Great work.
Here's another view: Image Unavailable, Please Login This is a prototype, or "plug" that will be used to make molds. The top mounts with four clamps: Two up front using the existing latch points and two in back that mount to the rollbar. If all goes well, I should be producing these at a rate of about one a month starting in November in black or primer exterior with a black alcantara or no headliner.
Epoxy, fiberglass, structural urethane foam, aluminum, stainless steel, urethane rubber, other stuff. A lot of West Systems products.
I love West System Epoxies, do you get their quarterly newsletter “Epoxyworks” they always have great stories about users projects and really useful information.
Here's a view from the rear: Image Unavailable, Please Login The rearward view from the cockpit is pretty good.
John, very nice work! I would love a hard top and the rear visibility is impressive. I wonder how the soft top could be kept in good shape though, since I was told it should never be left in the down position for more than a day or so.
