Fellow Healeynistas,

First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR :eagerness: !!!!!! But I Digress.

I installed the wonderful Christmas Gift that I gave myself. It is a new Lift/Hoist for my Hardtop. I bought it from a small company here in So Cal called Top Cap E-Z Lift, run by a fella named Bruce McMorris. The price was reasonable and the shipping was cheap.

The thing is sturdy, staple, and easy to use.

Anyway, I thought it was a great deal and works really good.

Wishing all of you a healthy and happy New Year.

Cheers,

Jeff B\

Nice gizmo. You can use it during summer fishing trips to haul the big fish on-board too.:eagerness:

I have one of these for the top on my wife's BN7. It is a good item, my only criticism being that weight of the top bears on the fore and aft strap deforms the gasket. It is easy to operate and once set up properly allows one person to install the top.

This is a small company so I don't think you will find a specific model number. I emailed Bruce McMorris a couple of times at Bruce@topcaplift.com, but found it far more effective to call him at (661) 252-2904. The cost was $199.00, plus tax and the shipping was $17.00.

Cheers,

Jeff
