When you say unlined, do you mean a bare GRP or gelcoat finish on the inside? NA roofs are lined, despite rumours to the contrary. They have a moulded black plastic lining as opposed to the plastic liner being trimmed in some hairy fairy material for the turbo hard top.They will be unlined as per the original NA hardtops (I may look at doing linings in the future but they should be easy to do yourself) and are GRP EXACT copies of the original roof.
Will it have all of the necessary fixings and OEM (or even better ) seals installed and ready to go?
Will be interested to see one when they're done as if there is no lining, it might mean some extra headroom and might mean I can use a hardtop and a helmet at the same time, on track. Good luck.
When the time comes, be very very careful about the packaging and shipping. I think Muncher had no end of grief with his aftermarket roofs getting damaged during shipping by dozy couriers.

Oh I dont have a prototype as such as it's basically just the OEM hardtop but I will post pics of the first completed one as soon as I can.
You will probably have an order from me when I see the pics.
Cheers.

I have quite a nifty solution for the postage
Bags of expanding foam? They will get dropped right onto the corner by the couriers, which I don't think anything other than a crate or OEM spec polystyrene will help with.
