This build is fantastic. Makes me want to print off a hardtop for a friend's NB. Not sure if it's needed, but did you consider sandwiching a washer on the backside of the rivnut to spread out the load and prevent damage?
@HutchinsRacing6 ай бұрын
Thanks! No I didn't do that because several of the holes were blind holes and I couldn't access the back side. The rivnuts say they are good for fiberglass as is, so no need for a washer.

I'm interested in buying this but have a couple of questions. Does this leak water into the boot? I've heard this is the case with this fastback design. Also, would this fit if I have a half cage?
@HutchinsRacing7 ай бұрын
I haven’t had any trouble with it leaking into the boot. It covers the full boot just like the oem boot does. If an oem hardtop fits your cage this one should also. Send me a message on instagram if you want me to confirm the actual dimensions and make sure it fits.

@justus927910 ай бұрын
Hey, first of all... Very cool videos! Thanks for all the information. Love it. I'm relatively new to the whole topic and was wondering (because I saw on another youtuber that he created the whole hardtop with a negative) Why you decided to just reinforce the 3d print and not use it as a "mold" for a negative like you did on the trunk? Are there any advantages to that (besides probably being a bit easier)? Thanks a lot!
@HutchinsRacing10 ай бұрын
Good question! It’s cheaper and easier to just reinforce the print itself because if you use the print as a mold you will need a lot more fiberglass to make it as strong as it is here with the print in the middle. Lots of professional fiberglass made parts have a “core material” for added strength. This is basically what I am doing here but all in one step.

Just found your channel today. The final product looks fantastic. I won't be doing this to my current Miata as it's an SE and I want to keep it stock. My wife won't ride in it with the top down so I may sell it and buy another to do this. 2 things: I too would like to know how the trunk works, I'll look at some of your past videos to see if it's explained there. Also, I would have made paper templates of the rear and side windows so you can easily replace them if/when they get scratched or broken.

Ill do a more detailed video on the trunk. On my previous version I used the sliders and stock hinges but on this version I’ve just kept it disconnected from the hinges and I remove the trunk entirely when I need access to the trunk.
