Anyone have a pic of how you correctly store the top frame and top in the back of BT-7 ? The top bow is longer than any of the area behind the seat back. Help ! :playful:

Suggest you join the Austin Healey Club USA, as they have several members in PA, see:

I just learned that I had to install the top bow towards the port side of car as far at it will go then wiggle the other side into the area. It took a little work but fit fine. Then I placed support over the top area. Installed rear seat backing.
 
Sorry, I just realized that this was for a soft top...


I have a bicycle hanger (one that has two hooks for a cross bar) mounted to a wall about 2-3 feet below the ceiling. Then I also have two wall mount hooks mounted on the ceiling so that it supports the front of the hardtop. The bicycle hanger holds the rear of the hardtop.

This is the bike hanger: https://www.lowes.com/ProductDispla...gId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1
