It is near perfect.
It is so good that I am able to id all the seals. I will be sourcing seal matches and when I have them all I will offer replacement seals to others. I will take and post pics this weekend. |

I figured I'ld keep this quiet until it was a little further along, but I have started on these about a month ago. I've had a top that I've used to work out the new one. As usual I am making some changes that will make it a better product. I'm redesigning the seals for the sides to do a better job in keeping the water out. The attachment hardware is a higher quality and will have some adjustment to allow the owner to get the tension just right. This is important in the rear as the I bolt can separate from the top at the block. This one I have has been repaired in that area at least 2 times.
I've actually been looking at this one for quite some time and I'm collaborating with a few other individuals here to make a better product. It has kind of been hush hush as the start up costs on this product is pretty high, and I've been taking bits of it on at a time. I didn't want to post anything until I had more of it together, but I've just started on the main piece (the roof itself), and didn't want to drop the bomb until I had my first piece in hand. Pricing can vary depending on how things go and how everything comes together but,........................... Target price is $650, and it looks attainable. |
