Mr Bruce
Mr Bruce,
Does your hardtop come with all the fittings (less side curtains) and weatherstripping?
How leak proof is the windshield area?
What windshield angle does it fit best?
Which wheel base replica (90-94-96) will it fit most securely?
How do you handle the "dead air" in the back?
How soon can one be ready to go?
Thanks,
Gene

B&B hardtop
yes the top comes with molding that goes all the way around the bottom of the top and seals great against the body, it has the chrome buttons for the body, the rear plexiglass window and molding, the clamps that hook to the windshield everything but the side curtains are included, our car is a 90" wheel base the angle of your windshield might need to be change a little to fit the curve of the hardtop. I could have everything put together and ready to go by the end of the week. you can go over to www.bandbroadster.com and go into the owners group photo section and see more hardtop. let me Know If I can get you anything else |

I like my Hardtop for early spring and fall. Sometimes on long afternoon car shows the hardtop protects the interior from sun. All in all I'm glad I have a choice.

Gene:
Most of your questions concerning Bruce's top can be answered in this thread:
LeMans Hardtop for ERA
To seal the top across the top of the windscreen frame, I used a piece of foam rubber that most folks use to seal their pick-up truck caps to the top of the bed. Bruce constructs the top such that it "cups" the windscreen across the top and the foam rubber works perfectly. I took a 1300mi trip down to Tennessee after installing Bruce's top with 1/3 of the return trip in driving rain on the interstate and had no issues. I wasn't running side screens, though and very little rain made it into the passenger compartment.
My car is a 90" wheel base car. My windshield angle is at 45 degrees, and the dead air in the back is not really an issue. For high-speed runs, I did drill some holes in the rear of the screen as per cars running in Europe in the Masters.

Do you know why they cut holes in the rear window and Shelby didn't?

Gene:
I'm not sure entirely..could be a couple of reasons. Shelby/AC only ran the top originally on two cars, but the indents on the sides of the top were originally cut open, I believe, to provide a bit of pressure relief. I copied what the guys are doing who run the Master's Series in Europe. Many of those guys run some sort of holes in the rear screen to help with releasing pressure from the cavity. Personally, I think it looks "racecar"...so that's my main reasoning.

Hey Bryan, I have a BDR and I'm interested as well. I'm looking for a finished top ( just needs paint) with sliding windows like a superformance or the spring up type that you see the chaps in the UK with. All to fit a BDR.
Kindly provide more info such as; is the rear window glass or plexi, is the top complete with hardware etc' ....
Thanks, Jim
