I'm installing a new soft top on my BN2. I've just finished tidying up the =
frame which had some loose pivots and worn pivot holes. The frame is now in=
 good shape and today I trial fitted it in the BN2. It fits very well when =
it's up, pulling down evenly onto the windscreen top. However, when it's fo=
lded up behind the seats,=C2=A0 it packs up too far forward on the left han=
d side, by about 1/2 an inch. On investigation, I can see that the cause is=
 that the bracket that holds the frame to=C2=A0 the side wall is 1/2" furth=
er forward on the left side than the one on the right side. My first though=
t was to shift the left hand bracket back 1/2 an inch, but I guess this wou=
ld mess up the fit on the windscreen.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so what is the fix? I want to sort=
 this out before I fit the soft top obviously.=C2=A0
Thanks for any help.
