16.1. HOLES IN THE BODY

Drilling holes in the seat shell:

It is possible to have the holes be marked off by Burton Car Company. When you are in Zutphen with your car, this is definitely recommended. Then the holes are marked off for free using a jig. If you install the soft-top yourself, then please take your time to mark off the holes for drilling.
It is recommended to locally tape up the body using duct tape or painting tape. This way the bodywork is somewhat protected and you can mark off on the tape.

1. Use figure 1 to mark off the rear three holes in the seat shell. The measures in this picture are centre to centre distances and the hooks are used for the hinges of the trunk lid. Drill these holes with a diameter of Ø 5 mm.
2. Install 3x a soft-top roof screw M5. On the inside the screws are fixed using a plain washer and a M5 locknut.
3. Measure 1035 mm from the front where the hood starts (see figure 2), both on the left and the right.
4. Measure 237 mm from the marked point at the driver’s side square upwards, and 241 mm at the passenger’s side. Mark off these points (see figure 3).
5. Using a 5 millimetre drill, drill those two holes in the sides of the seat shell. Use the soft-top itself (see figure 4) and the marking as a reference (see figure 5).
6. Install the soft-top roof screws M5 and fix the screws using a plain washer and a M5 locknut.
