Hey, awesome video! I just bought a used top and it didn’t come with the center brace… any idea what diameter the plumbers pipe/ABS tube for the center brace it?
If I remember correctly it was about an inch and a half dia., but the ideal size would just be the same as your roll-bar thickness! Slightly bigger would work fine too
There's a picture on their website that explains how to measure your roll bar to determine canvas size! each roll bar design is different and if you order too long or too short it wont sit right at the back. I believe mine was a 29'' or 30'' though
I really Havnt used it all that much. I quickly learnt that if your head sits higher than the roll bar, your head pressed against the top. So doesn’t quite work for me unless I’m slouched down
Hi! I have only had the car up to 80kph (50mph) with the top on so far, and at that speed the top felt great. I currently have my transmission removed, but once I have the miata back on the road I'll let you know!
Its been on my list for a while too! Something I didn't realize about the bikini tops is that if your head sticks above your roll bar line, then your head presses against the bikini top while driving... Something to think about haha
Nice! I didn't realize the soft top header was used on the bikini tops.
It felt very wrong cutting apart a perfectly good soft top frame!

Do you have issue's with the soft stop bow sagging and not being flush with the front of the car without the main middle brace?
Yes absolutely. You need the middle brace
Hello, what size canvas did you use? The site has many different sizes but I like how yours looked.

How do you keep the rain out?

About how long did you wait for yours to come in the mail?
A few weeks
Is the centre bar really important / necessary?
Ya without the centre bar it will droop in the middle
It's been a year, how's the bikini top holding up?

Is that the tan is vinyl or canvas?
This is the tan vinyl not the canvas
is the pvc what keeps the bow from falling down?
Ya it’s the support brace across the middle of the top
