« on: February 06, 2007, 18:32:46 »
I'm curently building a 90 and I'm looking forward to running it in summer with series door bottoms and a canvas top but for the winter etc i will be using it as a truck cab with a roll obviously I'm gonna have issues with the cage and canvas conflicting with one another any suggestions how to get round this?

Yep. A truck cab soft top.





mine doesnt look top notch as it is a prototype but the later ones are better look on exmoor trim for details.

Have you got the roll cage yet?

If no then you could go for an internal rollcage so the canvas or aluminium body can just fit over the top. Only down sides are a reduction in interia space and you may prefere an external cage for asthetics and sliding round obsticles
