Aeroflop scuttle shake

[Josh42]

Hi all,

 

I know there have been previous threads on this topic - I've read the majority of them hoping for some miracle cure for the scuttle shake found on the aero.

 

However, the conclusion of most of these threads is that, strut braces, ARB's and the do Luck braces, do not work. The only real way to cure the flex is to fit a welded roll cage.

For some people this is not an issue, however, I'm not entirely comfortable with having a full cage fitted in a road car.

 

I therefore wondered if, since 2007/8 when the previous threads were posted, has anybody managed to cure the scuttle shake on the Aeroflop and if so, how?

 

Mine is driving me insane with all the rattles the flex brings along with it!

I researched this on supra forums for ages most of them end up with a cage which I think looks naff with the roof off but unfortunately nothing short of a cage is going to fix it.

 

I have had two aero's both where the same I only realised how bad it was when one side was parked up on a small/med size curb while I was trying to put the roof on I got 3 bolts going the 4th would not even attempt to go it would just go tight or start to cross thread I tried for at least 10minutes it was only until someone said take it off the curb and it bolted straight on perfect first time as per normal

its just something you will have to deal with. would extra bracing underneath help? I dont think so. unless you could fabricate something that will go where the roof goes and keep it tight up top or even a bar across the center of the roof as bracing? but then you would want it so that you can still have the roof on top and I don't know how much head room it would be sacrificed
