Now that my MX5 has gone I've got a few bits and pieces to sell.
...including this bikini top. I made it from an original Mk1 hood frame, complete with front rail and catches, cut off the metalwork that was no longer required and covered it with a lightweight nylon canvas material. Should work for M1, 2 and 2.5.
This is excellent for when the sun is actually shining and it gets too hot with no roof at all but there is not enough ventilation if you have the hood up - protects you from the direct sun overhead but gives all-round air flow to keep you a bit cooler.
It fixes to the regular hood points above the windscreen, and with 2 wing bolts (provided) onto the hardtop catch bolt holes already present in the sides of the body behind the seatbelt tower – either there is a trim piece you can remove or you may have to check and cut a hole in the plastic trim. The tension of the hood material can be adjusted with Velcro’d nylon webbing straps. If you want, you can even roll up the hood material and leave the frame in place!
Unlike some other hoods of this type, you can fit it to standard cars that do not have a roll bar (though, if your car does have a roll bar, the hood could probably be adapted to fit).
You do not have to remove your normal soft top hood though clearly you can’t put up the normal hood when this is fitted…
Included in the sale:
• half hood with catches
• 2 wing bolts
Car not included!
Collection only from Sevenoaks, Kent (5 minutes from J5 of the M25 for M26/A21).
£55 cash on collection
