Initially I did think the removed top might be of use for someone but probably not now so if anyone is planning same and doesn't want to hack up there frame I will be cutting mine up to get brackets for seatbelt if you need them. Its made up of hacked softtop frame ends and a custom made bar going across which looks good and strong. I also have a brace/harness bar to fit in which you can see in pictures, I pulled this out of the car I stripped turbo off down at Rogue on the weekend as its saves me making one after hacking up my softtop frame apart to get the seatbelt mounting parts (something you need to do if removing softop as mounts are part of frame). ![]() Here is a pile of parts removed, I will be refitting the lower part of bins and the back carpet/cover which on quick mockup looks pretty tidy, just a little work to do at edges to cover exposed metal but I think I can utilise the drain pockets and things to make it look ok and will get some pics up once I get it back together. I watched the following video to get an idea on what is involved, its not a perfect guide but helpful and does give you the pointers on where the fixings are etc. ![]() Ok as I run a hardtop all the time (unless a very rare top off day) I decided there was no point carting the heavy old folded down softop around with me so stripped it out last night, took just over an hour to get to the point in below pictures, nothing too difficult apart from awkwardness of lifting it out on my own once the zillon fixings were removed, but I managed.
