yeah thanks, i have thought of that and im going to buy 1 from mu canvas and get my mates father to mod it so it sits right back to the front bar on my roll bar so i can recline my seats. might even see if he is interested in making they up and if i do sell the hard backs mayb sell them in a full kit. or just mod the hard back so the mu canvas 1s attach snug

it's looking good.

just a thought, with the holes for the roll bar, will you have a plug to fill them when laying the glass as some people wont be running a cage?

hey - love this... its awesome.

i reckon slope it back a few degrees - so when rain hits it, it runs towards the back of the car, will also stop any pooling. Then add a 20mm lip so studs can be screwed in to attach a rear softtop from MU-Canvas =)

one last thing - how are you going to address the standard targa support bars??? you know the 45 degree ones that go from the targa bar down to the tub?

that roll bar is just for wank factor, from memory it doesn't even mount to the floorpan at the rear... 8O 8O 8O

He's gotta add rigidity to it somehow though.

I reckon he's doing an excellent job... definitely patient. :goodjob:

Its good that your trying don't get me wrong. I didnt see the 1st page drawing. Now i know what your doing.

My 2c worth:

I have never seen a stock option rollbar go to the back like that.
I saw 2 yesterday in coilys, 2" or smaller alloy tube, front bars to floor, and rear bars to rear of wheel well. Not floor.
Both were marked Genuine Suzuki Accesories.
At a Suzuki specific wreckers.

Id make no holes. Then the buyers can customise further if needed. There are too many variations in roll bars etc. (although the holes would be good as cupholders) :lol:
