Plus a sheet metal folder for the stand-offs.
A heap of blind rivets.

Depends what you are trying to achieve.


I'm sure this owner thinks they've come up with a great solution for a hardtop.

Photos sent.
As John mentioned, there is a join on the LWB one where the spotwelds could be separated. Fold over the rear edge and rivet on a reinforcing strip and it should fit a SWB.
