There's a major gap at the head of the top that meets the A-frame but that's not a huge deal right now since material can be added to make it flush just before painting. A full review of this top is in the works, stay tuned! As for the brackets, they are @jassperformance rear side brackets. I've seen others out there but they only use one hole and knowing how these cars twist under normal and extreme driving conditions, I thought it was rather daft to use just one hole. Jass brackets uses all the mounting holes as the factory intended which also evens out the load. It also looks like it belongs there as opposed to the other market options. I'm sure some die-hard Garage Star fan will bash me for this but engineering prevails even if you're single bracket managed to hold up all this time; better safe than sorry. #jassperformance #jassproducts #NA #fastback #miata #mx5 #T5PWR #mossmiata (at Orchard Supply Hardware)
