Only a few updates on how this progressed. More updates to come this coming week.
So this top is to mount to the windshield metal frame in the front, and to a bridge behind the headrests.
The bridge is simple to make but it has to be particular in dimensions; its corners lie on a virtual line that extends the cars engine lid ribs. Also it plugs in and out of the car into two sockets that are always bolted behind the seats. So, we plug in this bridge and fasten it via the matching holes.
Here are the Kit-Fixed Brackets made from 3/4" Square Tubing and are bolted onto the fiberglass and the metal bar that crosses the cabin under the head humps.
In this picture is visible the straight line that extends from the rear trunk all the way to the head humps (the line matches along the engine hatch). The metal bridge that will host the removable top will have its corner where this line extends.
The two bars that extend forward from that bridge also follow the same plane resulting from the trunk to the engine hatch to the corner of the bridge...
Those two bars are neither fixed onto each other nor onto the bridge. However, they will be conected by the canvas and they will each mount into the bridge accordingly via a channel that is welded to the top of the bridge. Two other channels will be also welded to the topof windshield frame where that plug in and a pin fastens them into place.
I will continue this section when I weld the entire top project together, I'm excited to finish it soon now that the design part is kind of done for.
