So you took the plunge then George.
Good luck with the build, don't forget, I'm only round the corner if you need any help.
What setup did you go with in the end?

work from hence the poll
not just open to mnr owners but everyones feedback would be greatly appreatiated
many thanks

Go for 1040 mm from the "flat bottom". Although most regulations stating this height state that it does comprise the roll hoop I consider
it a good dim (1040+100 ground clearance= 1140)

Marc, do you do a soft top or preferably a tonneau?
PS it is anthropometric data you need, find a web site with some, or ask an A-level DT pupil. It should be really useful.

Id be tempted to design the hardtop to look OK on the car and suit up to 6'2". You could then offer a head bulge as an accessory for those
less vertically challenged. I guess seat height, type of seats and helmets or not would also need to be factored in just to compound things a bit
more.
The head bulge could be supplied with cutting template and itself have a flange so it can be sealed in place.
Lets hope that super tall people have eyes lower down in head though - otherwise front of bulge may need to have a mini screen fitted!!!!
