Are you replacing the top on your own? What kind did you get?

I replaced my top by myself with a Robbins/Haartz stayfast canvas top. I knocked it out in a day. Here's a good write-up: https://my350z.com/forum/350z-roadst...l#post11009381

Yes. I haven't decided which one I'm going with yet. I have to do some research on which ones hold up the best, but I will say that I really like the burgundy color one. I have a 7 year old son so I'll probably deal with taking the old one off first and then making sure the frame and everything else is perfect. Finally getting the new one on and sending the z off to soho motorsports in NC to get my airlift 3p bag suspension and full suspension rebuild since I've had the airlift kit for like 3 months now and haven't been able to send the z off because my gfs transmission broke down. Then she started driving my 2016 camry which is like my daily family reliable car. All this has sucked real bad but now that her car is done I can send mine off. I pick up my kid from school so all that stuff was rough for a bit. She's an awesome girl though. She's paying me back the 3800 for the Trans rebuild on her car since she didn't have the money to get it done. I met her 2 years ago, my sons real mom died from a brain aneurysm at 25 2 years ago as well. Thankfully the new gf doesn't have any kids and loves mine like he's her own because I could not handle anymore children. Lol they're not bad. I'm just 29 years old and I want to live my life by the time I'm in my 50's. Life is weird.

Thanks so much.

Good job fella, been a while since I revisited the forum. Thanks for re-posting the pics. I try to check in at least once or twice a year on the forum. But it looks like it's still helping people. Thanks for re-sharing!

Default Sorry the guy was a dick. Hopefully this helps

Hey Jakinko,

Sorry it's taken a while to see this. I'll take a look and see if the brushes were still in my Amazon history. I doubt it. But... If I recall correctly they were from and RC car motor.

Found them! No longer on Amazon. But you can get them here https://www.greathobbies.com/product...od_id=MMRC3080

Muchmore Racing MBS5 Stand Up Motor Brushes.

Yes, BlueBadge is a VERY cool dude. My wife has contacted this mrauto407 dude on Ebay. As he didn't seek permission to use these photos for profit.

Hopefully he takes them down. No one has permission to use these photos for profit. I originally posted them so people could do this themselves for cheap!

I'm still alive and well and living in Texas! lol, I hope you were able to find the brushes you needed.

I found the brushes, no longer on Amazon, but they can be found here https://www.greathobbies.com/product...od_id=MMRC3080

They were used in RC Cars, Muchmore Racing was the vendor

Best wishes, I'll reach out to that Ebayer and get him to take down my photos as he still seems to be using them. Cheers!

Yeah man. I think it's still helping people looking for a DIY solution, but everyone seems to start crying when they don't see the pictures in your first post.

Perhaps you would be so kind to everyone who comes across this thread in the future and edit your original post #1 with the pictures from either post #144 or #241?

Hey bluebadge! I hope there's a way I can contact you and ask you something. While I was working on the top I found something strange. It's hard to describe in words. I need to go take a picture I suppose. Will you be checking back on here?
