Tops and Doors

[jbcollier]

Can the newer tops be fitted to a 69 S3?

- a bit higher than originals/zip out rear window/ obviously you would need the frame as well)

 

Same for the newer doors that store much more easily?

 

Thanks

Many things on the 7 have been remarkably consistent through the years.  The basket profile that dictates the hood stick height hasn't changed.  Hood pleat locations for different stick positionings have been used to clear different rollover bars, like the FIA. 

 

In a measuring exercise with Des (NSXguy), I compared the lengths of a mid 80s Short cockpit to my mid 90s long, I found no great difference in length between the shock tower and the front Petty strut mount.  Wherever Cat lengthened the cockpit, they must not have altered the frame.

 

 I think that you have a very good chance of a new hood and doors fitting, although a bit fiddly initially.

I'm in contact with Redline and will see what they say.
