That's a comprehensive list of mod's, I quite like the boot racks in the two links. I'm looking at getting a rack but I want to use it with the roof up or down so that method of fixing would be no good for me. Are they just thumb-turn fasteners holding the rack to the interior bulkhead top?
I also was quite surprised about the number of mods when I wrote up the list. Yes, the rack uses the thumb-turn fasteners. Worked well on my way to KKITP last year. But you are right, it takes some time to take it off, not that convenient when it's bucketing down suddenly. Andreas
What exactly are the Suspension limiters? do they compress the springs slightly to lower the ride height?
Nope, they are just higher rubber blocks to reduce the spring deflexion(?): Photo (c) by hansen@ micro-roadster.de
