Paki Top install real time help needed (1 Viewer)

[brew8]

The top seems too short for the frame, the windshield attachment seems to use a lot of material, do I have it installed correctly? Any suggestions because I'm 1.5 to 2 inches short of fitting. Any advise would be appreciated, Larry

Can't really tell from the pictures, but the OEM top doesn't overhang the windshield like that.

I think your right but the bracket from Eshan seems fabbed backward, I'll try something else with it, thanks, Larry

Can you post a picture of how you have installed the channel? There are a few areas where you can correct the fitting. Firstly, the top should not be overhanging this much. Secondly there is some adjustment in the rear corners and behind the door where you can shorten the bows to a certain extent. Your problem, however is with the windshield channel fitting.
Please post pics

I think I solved the problem, just rolled the channel, nice work Eshan, much better than I expected, your guy's are craftsmen. Larry

That looks really sharp.

Also - nice look with TWO FJ-40's in the garage! I'm impressed!

Don't be to impressed, it belongs to a guy that bought it on e-bay from someone in Colorado, they fooled with the wiring and welded it all together, needs a new rear main, a clutch of course and removal of 50 pounds of bondo. I was just seeing if it was an easy fix, no luck, Larry

are the paki tops made of same material as the paki trail tops ?
my trail top fawkin tears if you look at it wrong.
the buckles are all rusted, the snaps pulled out like first use.
I like your guys work but the trail top leaves something to be desired.

I wish we had oversized tires available here in Pakistan. Would have loved some on my 4x4.

Larry, What size tires and lift do you have on your cruiser? Looks damn good!

The tires are 35x13.5 Toyo's on 10 inch wheels, it's a 4 inch skyjacker with one inch extended shackles in the rear, the top is the tan canvas, there is another guy here in Billings that has the vinyl I deffinitly like the canvas better, Larry

 

[mr_manny]

I just rolled the channel

Larry,
What do you mean by "you rolled the channel"?
got any pics?

thanks,
manny

Here are a coupla of pictures, the first is with it one way then the other, I still don't think it should stick out like it does but the bottom photo is the only way the top would fit. If you know something else let me know, Larry

Here is a better picture of the channel

Here is a better picture of the channel

this photo is not right...it should not have the channel exposded like that....is should have the canvas covering the channel

 

[JohnnyC]

should look like this

not a paki top...but...its the way it should be

 

[brew8]

Thats what I thought and all that I looked at were that way but if I put it that way as in the other picture it would not fit, I thought for a while that the piece for the windshield was bent wrong, I have a front piece from an old kayline I may use it because this won't work for the long run, Larry
