Default Removable Top Storage

Any good ideas on how to store removable tops in garage. Hanging on wall would be great, but ?

Someone a while back developed a rack for hanging the top on a wall. Haven't seen it advertised for a while. There are some portable carts that you can get from Mid-America but it is rather expensive.

Ladder hangers work very well. They can be purchased with foam padding and are available at any Home Depot or similar store.

Damn patches, nice car.

I wouldn't risk putting mine in the garage with kids around - it stays in my closet.

Here is the one I got. I emailed the guy after I bought mine and asked if he had any left. He said he did but he never answered as to how many.

I mentioned that there were members on a forum looking for them so I thought that would be enough to get his intrest, guess not.

They have a web site so it might ot hurt to contact them.

It is a simpe design but very effective!

Put mine in a big plastic garbage bag and hang it.

Very easy. Get these parts together:



Then make 4 of these:



I patterned these after Kerry Yoon's which he sold here for a while a long time ago. I still have the drawing and parts list I can email you if you want it.
