Installing a softop on my Mk3 Spitfire

Posted By : Philip Walker, 09-Feb-2004, 08:17pm

My 1969 Spitfire has never had the factory hardtop taken off. It hasn't really done anything other than 8500 miles and sat in a garage for most of its life! It is completely original, no restoration, original tyres etc.

I want to fit a soft top for the summer.

I have bought a second hand frame from Stoneleigh, which is currently undergoing WD40'ing to loosen it up before I strip and paint it. The thing is I have never actually fited a soft top to a spitfire and can't find a lot of information as to how to do it. Fitting a hard top yes, but not a soft top.

Anybody kind enough to pint me in the correct direction, for first removing the hardtop safely then fitting the frame, to try it, then purchasing and installing a hood.

TIA

Phil
