Thread: Army style roof removal.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Dave (Cairns FNQ)

I think you will find it bolts together like a meccano set, so anyone who can turn their hand at spanner work should be able to remove the bits you want to get rid of.

Motor vehicle engineers (yellow pages) should be able to give you the necessary paperwork.

The actual removal is about an hour with a set of spanners (and a second set of hands to lift it off). The legal problem is that the hardtop includes the top seatbelt mounts. You would need to find a satisfactory solution to this with an approved engineer.
