I couldn't find my torch so it was a bit hard to see but from the centre, measurement from the carpet to top of the bar looked to be 46.5cm.

Thanks Mossy - great stuff 8) From memory the BD sits quite snug and just under the rear most soft top support bar. Is this right?

Cheers
Rob

Why do you ask Rob? If you need help with an install let me know - I have a documented fitting story with pics that will appear in NSW club magazine one day, but I could send you the article if you need it.

Thanks BigDog - i am looking for the tallest bar that will fit under the top...the guys in the states reckon the Hard Dog Hard Core (HDHC) gives the most height (up to 2 inches more than others). Obviously, the BD is an easy local option, however from memory it sits fairly well back and just under the rear most soft top bar. I think the HDHC may sit forward of the rear most soft top support, and this is where the extra clearance comes from (im not too concerned if i lose 1-2 inches of leg room as i will be using a fixed back seat.

Cheers
Rob
