Zero cost option is to take the door tops off.

Does that not sit them a bit low on the bulkhead?

Think there is a bracket or bar to raise the mounting point. Exmoor trim sell one, probably others as well

Mine were bolted to the top of the bulkhead, I did have racing harnesses in though but no problem height wise. Still got the mounting hoops actually if they're of any use to you

Thank you for offer Dr evil but been talking to a friend and he has rag top with all fittings and a seat belt mount so going to keep nagging him until he sell it me cheap. He's asking a lot of money at moment.
Previous owner painted roof same NATO green as everything else ( including inside the indicator bulb holders), I read some where that painting roof white makes a difference, what's peoples thoughts? Would it make enough difference to warrant getting step ladders out?
