Just Installed Northwind 1\"

I'm 6'2 and felt from day one that I was looking over the windshield. Installed the 1" adjustable kit and it makes an incredible difference. I now feel that I am IN the car.

The construction is first rate (except the spring wire)where I used plastic tie strips instead. Hope to see you cold weather boys in Sebring.

Re: Just Installed Northwind 1

After you've driven in it for a few hundred miles, you might notice that the seat gets a bit loose. (I did.) I took it back out, cranked down and locktited all the bolts. Much less "slop" in the seat after that.

I agree with you on the spring wire. I replaced mine with braided cable and a turnbuckle.

That one inch does indeed make all the difference! It's nice to feel as if you're below the roll bars, actually in the car and looking through the middle of the windshield (and I'm only 5'9"). Thank you NWE! I also agree that the spring wire should be replaced. I think my fix was very similar to Kai's--a turnbuckle and a steel rod.
