well....
the coating on that top will fail - look at the where the fasteners pass through... that's a mess all around when the coating pops,you'll regret going that road... was that job done by a shop,or a backyard guy acting as a shop ?

I see what you were talking about. Total hack job. Not sure why the starboard even needs to be there......

No excuse but just wondering IF there was a box mounted up there and the starboard was not exposed?
Friz glad to see someone else runs into crab like that used to really piss me off but over the years I've accepted it knowing that sooner or later the hack jobs fail and then they can pay us to do it the way it should have been done to begin with! Spent 4 1/2 yrs working at the turkey point nuke for Bechtel startup for part of it hAdto come behind some great mechanics and had to open up there wire looms just to verify cables and terminations hate to say it but once they where unlaced we could never get them back quite as nice as one of the old timers had put them in ! Actually apologized to him once got a a warm smile and was told he didn't think he could have gotten it back the same way if he had to pull it apart like we did either ! Hated that job but loved the guys I worked with----talent! |

I sometimes wonder if this kind of thing happens because people don't care about the quality of their work, or if it's because these guys honestly don't know what quality work is supposed to look like.
Either way, I hope you get what you want when it's all said and done. The guy ought to buy you a new T-top. Dave

What are the wires feeding .. Radar , antennae , lights but i see looks like lights on stbd side.. I would have drilled in to your tubing and fed wires through the tubing.. Looks like you could have ran all wires through the tubes..just my two cents

What was the guy thinking? You could cover it up with a nice lightweight electronics box.

Looks like 2 L brackets constructed of starboard that were built to accept a plate of some type for an electronics box..and the chase is there in the tubing to run wires to a future electronics box. You wont even see the messed up holes on L brackets once plate and box is installed(but YOU will know they are there)
