Reccomendations for SL hardtop stand (R107)?

[rgubbioli]

Hello,

I've recently purchased an SL (R107 chassis) and wanted to get a hardtop stand for the garage. Its a rented space so cannot get the ceiling hoist.

Any reccomendations? I've seen the one at the SL shop for £150, but I've seen the one on eBay from "UK Custom Covers" which is around £90.

I'm tempted to go for the Custom covers one, unless any negative views on the company or product?

Thanks in advance!

If you don't want to spend a fortune , you could probably go down to B&Q for materials , and make one up out of a timber frame , using carpet or rubber door stops to support the hard top at key points ?

Im pretty sure I have that one here at work, its a bit wobbly but is fine... Has protective strips at all the important contact points and seems pretty sturdy.

Thats exactly the one!

Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll go ahead and purchase it then.

FAO Pontoneer: Good idea in principle but a bit impractical for me as I don't have tools etc. Even found a "how to" on the web in case anyone else wants to have a go.

Hi did you buy the stand from eBay in the end? How is it?

I have a 129 panoramic roof and also require a stand.
