can i remove softop?

Postby irwin83r » Thu Jul 12, 2007 12:36 pm

was thinking of removing the soft top and making something better to hold on the hardtop. as i never use the softtop and it would fetch a pretty penny :P

would this be legal in supersprints type 2??

the soft top by itself is about 20Kg......for memory.....

I think with the NB ones were actually lighter with the Glass window than the original plastic window NA ones...... can anyone confirm that?
