Hi all, I have had a fair workshop session today and have made some real progress fitting my Mr Bruce midnight special hardtop.
The tops arrived a few weeks ago and we can probably claim that they are some of the most travelled parts to go on a Cobra.
They came from Pitsburg PA the back way, via the Suez Canal, India , Korea and finally to Oz. The freight was the right price though (thanks Andy).
The tops have been designed to suit an ERA Cobra and it is fair to say an ERA must be perky in the bum compared with a CR. The rear of the top is not sitting as low as I would have liked, but the roof line and door openings are spot on.
The side window recesses are going to be removed once I have the mounting hardware completed, and the rear window area will probably be treaked too to make it flow a little better where it meets the boot.
The width of the rear hatch opening is spot on with the width of the CR boot so that is a pleasant surprise.
I have made up a template for a new roll bar to be made up, given that there is now much less headroom. I still fit under the top with a helmet on, and it is much easier to get in and out of than I thought it would be.
