Too easy for you lot,It is, it bolts to the top of the roll bar and holds the roof tight, I need to make a 2" wheel I can pin to the screw to tension it,

Hi All
Not the best pictures but the best hangover ever.

I have removed the old hood tensions and mounted new ones on top of the roll bar, I found some stainless turnbuckles, some stainless knobs which I machined out to fit the turnbuckles, just need to weld together, I need to finish the roof brackets as they need a bit of a slim down. I have tried a dry fit and it seams to work ok, The turnbuckles are left and right threads so one turn is 1/4" movement

Hi Mick,
I walked down to the workshop as I felt real bad, all day.

I normally feel ok first thing but if I don't take anything (full english / tablets or whatever) it's downhill from there!!
