Impressive skills on an impressive machine makes it look so easy, job envy!!

Such a simple little thing such as these stops can potentially save a lot of people’s rear hardtop windows!!!!
Pictures??

Can somebody tell me how to rotate? I usually just crop a photo square so it doesn’t auto rotate?

Even not having a hardtop I'd be tempted by those, so when I do sell the car I can say it's prepped for a hardtop :)

I will ask one of the lads to knock out some.

I no longer work on the machines I will make them all with a 12.50mm hole and you as they are different sizes on different models.

I doubt it will be before Christmas though.

What I will do is go In to work inbetween Christmas and New year and make some. But I can't promise they will all fit everyone's car some might be tight and some loose.

When me and Jamie made them both out cars had different sizes :(
