Has anyone here made or bought a hardtop stand ?

My hardtop has just been propped in a corner of the garage since i fitted the new softip on the 135 but i keep looking at it thinking it would be better stored in a less precarious way. I'm not sure whether a freestanding frame is best or just to rawlbolt some horizontal timbers to the wall to strap it to.

If you have head room hang it from the garage roof. I have mine on a pulley system where I can drop it on or lift it off, I can do it single-handedly although I like to have spare pair of hands standing by.

The proper hardtop for use with an MG

And the correct storage device

The rafters was my first thought but there isnt enough available height to walk under it ,

You don't need much headroom. The clip eyes screw into blind brass inserts fixed from the inside & when on plastic blanks pop in, you barely notice. If the car were in the roof would be hovering a little above the clips, with one more link to settle it for clipping down. The pulleys in the sheaves could do with being twice the diameter other than that it works fine.

That's a nice hood for your helmet Cobbs

Like Cobber I don't need much room to store my hardtop.
