Awesome thread! A few questions to anybody who was completed this project...
1. How did you sand/prep your top? (ie..what sandpaper, wet or dry etc?).
2. Channel strut installation
https://www.sportsmobileforum.com/fo...e-24479-4.html during this process. Is it better to install the unistrut on top of the monstaliner.....or on the bare sanded fiberglass? (ie....for leaks and butyl adhesion etc).
3. New penthouse bolt hardware from the forum. Better to install this hardware on top of the monstaliner or to the prepped fiberglass? (It looks like @shuttlepilot installed on top of the monstaliner).
4. How much Monstaliner did you use for:
- An RB top
- An EB top
5. What exact size and type of sex bolts did you use? (
https://www.sportsmobileforum.com/fo...p-10808-5.html).
6. Which exact punch tool did you use? (leather punch?)
7. Where did you get a new penthouse gasket? (ie...now that SMB west is no longer).
8. How much did you stretch your penthouse gasket? (ie...After heating it in the sun how much did you stretch it? Should it be pulled tight between sex bolts when its hot and pliable? Any issues when it cools down and shrinks?)
9. Any tips or things you wish you did differently?
Thank you!
