Tmarx—Small floor section that opens up. Also will still have the 3 access points from the outside.

I meant into the canopy, mate. Is there enough space to stand upright inside the canopy, once the tent/canopy roof and bed is popped up ? I found that one of the nicest features of our poptop roof was the fact that you no longer needed to schlep around and use an outside ladder to gain entry into and to exit the tent, especially late at night in the dark to answer nature's obligatory call or to shoo the lions away etc

With the floor raised there is enough room to stand up. Floor down not so much. Plan for the small door is to allow one to go below to answer nature’s call. Otherwise when inside the floor will be raised up. But not as good as in a troopie with the floor down

I have seen canopies with single barn-type doors which makes it easy to open from inside or outside .... just an idea

Was able to snag one of these lock sets when they became available again.

With side window in. Replaced the mozzi screen.

Injectors got back from down under. Installed them and one leaked. Ended up there was piece of paint from the block that I hadn’t noticed at the bottom of the hole after I had cleaned the holes.
Then it ran like it was sucking air the longer it ran. Left it overnight and found fuel on the outside of the rubber fuel line from the frame to the primer. So replaced it. Runs better but still get some intermittent roughness and wanting to die. Darn it.

While trying to install the big lift struts of the top, I managed to put some side load on one of the struts which promptly caused the one end cast metal piece to brake Will try to find a replacement, if I can’t then I will try and make a replacement.

The floor lifts up, a small part and the rest

What mattress will you put in there?

No idea. Still trying to decide if I want to re install the original hard foam(?) floor that was glued in. One benefit from installing that I think is that it is a good floor insulator. But not very comfy.

I think I got a replacement made out of 1/2” aluminum bar stock. Will see how long it lasts.
