Hard top wall brackets

Postby hazel » Fri, 18 Jan 2013 12:57 +0000

Hi guys/girls,
I've had my hardtop propped up on a discarded sofa in my garage for past 7 years. I'm running out of space
and need to put hard top on wall at back of garage.
I want to ask, has anyone experience of using one? What system have you got.
I'm sure there are a few systems that should be avoided???
Any comments would be great.
Thanks,
Hazel

you could probably use 2 frankenstein bolts mounted on plates bolted to the wall.

Thanks for your comments.
I've read up a bit about people setting up their own DIY brackets, but the comments suggest that hanging the hard top from two bolts/ brackets put pressure on the balance and structure of the hard top.
Yes I would like photo of hard top storage bag. Would I need work bench under the bag lid to put hard top into lid and then raise hardtop and lid to wall system?
Regards, hazel

Hazel 'its a specially designed hardtop bag with zips both sides and clips to snap close other side. There are also 2 steel hooks built in for hanging on wall etc.It's soft material on inside do as not to damage paintwork but heavy canvas exterior. Just lay bag flat on floor fully opened 'close zippers and clips and hang up !!! Sounds like an exerpt from porn film !!! I have some photo's if you send me ur email.Thanks. Robert 086 8226506
