Title: Boxing gloves
Post by: Halls on March 24, 2021, 15:09
I keep seeing references to "boxing gloves" that cover the side mounts for the hard top. Never seen them before, does anyone have any pics?

You can just about make out the one on the driver's side in the attached photo.
Please burn after viewing as it's one of the few shots of my car without a 'roof'!IMG_20190914_124127[1467].jpg

I thought that you kept your HT on because you were perhaps ashamed of your soft top, but there it is ears tucked in and looking very neat.
Thank you for the picture, that makes 1001 reasons why I don't have a hard top, I'd be sure to poke my eye on the boxing glove when rummaging in the bins.

Any idea if you can buy extras like the boxing gloves from MrT? I've got everything except them.

Appreciate nice to have the genuine thing. But an upholsterer or other should be able to knock something up.

100% (or even 200% depending how you view it) mutually sexist in our house. Neither of us would a clue.

What's a sewing machine?

What torque does it have?

Bubbly has a professional one and mán that thing goes through foúr layers of heavyduty leather with more ease than a chainsaw.
She modded the duffs of the sheepskin jacket she modellled. Probably sexist too but by jove did she look better than me ´dressed´ this manner.

There was, a spambot scammer post that I thought I'd first edited to explain was a spammer and we were aware but then just removed altogether.👍🏻
