Hard Top
Good Morning All,
1/ Last weekend I bought a fairly scruffy hardtop. It's in primer and the headlining is shot.
However, the top makes a huge difference when driving the car. Up to now I relied on my disintegrating soft top only in emergencies - it was so bad that it only went up in the rain.
At last I can turn around and see out of the rear quarters and no longer are my ears cold - but I can't see the sky above.
It occurred to me that the best of both worlds for the British climate may be a hard top with a full length sunroof.
Has anyone fitted a sunroof to a hardtop - full length, canvas, electric or otherwise ?
What scrap vehicle would be a suitable donor for a sunroof - is this viable ?
Are there any articles on this subject in circulation ?
2/ The power steering fluid level seems to need topping up after every couple of journeys - there are no obvious leaks. Is this normal ?
3/ I think the carbs are running rich. Is home tuning a bad idea ? I have a CO meter and flowmeter which I used on my old Spitfire. I bought the service your Stag video but the issue of setting up the carbs is dismissed with the statement "take it to a specialist"
4/ How noisy should the overdrive gearbox be ? There is some whine which is quite annoying. Is this usual ?
Regards
