Is it easy to remove the hard top of a series3 88 :?: , and will it be heavy to lift of in one :?: . Ps it has side windows. :)
-
14 Bolts (I think)
4 on the rear
1 either side in the middle
1 either side on the bulkhead
6 across the screen
It's a 2 man lift really... A Series roof is quite heavy and it's a big lump of metal to be moving on your own.
-
Cheers tim was just thinking of taking it of for a bit now the sun is out. 8)
-
Yeah, go for it.... I used to take mine off all the time... only used 8 bolts on mine ;-)
You'll be amazed how quiet the vehicle is with no roof.
Drive it in the rain... that's a giggle... as long as you keep moving you are OK... the looks you get are superb :-)
-
:lol: can be done on yer own if need be,i used to do it to old icabod all the time, just be careful :wink:
-
the roof is liftable by one person, but its bloody awkward
i removed my roof once on my own, but i'd rather have another pair of hands, or even 2 pairs
-
Had a look at it today look ok but what do i do with the seat belts they are mounted on the side bit of the roof and if i remove them how do i stand with the law surely i need a seat belt
-
you can remove the belts completly and say that it was made without seatbelts, mine came without em but i put em in anyway,, cheap peace of mind,
-
Thank for that but i would like to keep the belts in you never no. i might try to make a bracket up so they fit behind the seats some time, got to put two new propshafts on it first now.
-
Dave,
You can always fit a set of static line belts for open use, or even a harness
-
Sorry kev what is a static line belt. :?
-
Its the old style belt, used before inertia, you have to put them on and adjust the belt to fit, it can mount on the bottom mounting like your does on the bottom of the seat box area.
And the other end behind the corner of the tub, somewhere strong and suitable
The belt then comes up over your shoulder and clips in the normal place, if you are lucky it will even fit the clip you already have in there
-
Thank kev i see what you meen, there's a lot more to it than just taking off the roof. :(
