Rops netting

Unread post by Bucolic » December 25th, 2019, 9:44 pm

Talk about a GREAT son. My son gave me a complete set of netting, side panels and doors. Something I've been looking for for quite a spell. Only problem I have is there are no buckles with these.
Can anyone point me to a set of buckles for them? I know I need four (4) buckles but I don't have a clue as to where to find them.

We are talking about the standard, squarish 'alligator' clips like can be found on the soft top straps, right?

Pretty sure he means the seat-belt style female buckles on "L"-shape metal supports, bolt to the uprights of the ROPS.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right about that. Stupid me. I have this new acquisition taking up 75% of my brain's ability to process information at the moment. :lol:

Yep, I need the four (4) seat-belt type buckles that mount on the two front legs of the ROPS. Getting them attached might prove to be quite a challenge as there's not a lot of space between the dash panel and the ROPS leg. I don't have any fireman's helmets but I'm willing to swap dead presidents for the buckles.

Ok, I'm going to be installing the netting buckles in the next couple of weeks and I have just one more question for the forum. Should the buckle be inside or outside of the ROPS legs?
