FS: Hard Top Roof Storage/Garage Hanging Bracket
Now that I have sold my hard top I no longer have any need for the roof storage/garage hanging bracket. I made this myself using other commercial designs. It is made from 27mm steel hand rail tubing and fasteners:

The entire frame is made from these clamps which are hot-dip galvanised and each screw has a slip load of 900Kg. I have connected to a hoist with a heavy duty punch bag chain which is also rated to over 100Kg and covered the points that could touch the roof with lagging. It is definitely over engineered but was fun to design and build.
Also because of the flexible lockable joint you can quickly lower the roof on to the car or remove it by yourself. Ideal for Summer storage and put the hard top completely out of the way.
Given the size and weight this is collection only.
The parts alone cost £150 so I would like to recover those. Anyone interested?
