9 inches would just be high enough for my purposes. The black T brace looks like a Lange unit but what about the silver track on the ceiling? Where is that from?
Thanks for the pictures!. I really like that Topsy hoist bracket. Its will solve one of my space problems with the rear glass needing to be open with some systems. I must assume the top attachment point is strong enough to support the weight of the rear part of the top.
I assume the brackets stay on all the time. Does mounting them under the hinge push the glass out farther, affecting the seal?
They mount on top of the hinges. Just loosen the bolts for them and slide the brackets under bolts and tighten bolts one at a time.
It certainly appears to me the brackets mount on top of the hinges so do not push the glass out at all. If anything they might require longer bolts but I think that is unlikely. Since the bolts do not need to be removed but only loosened the brackets can be easily removed and replaced if wanted or kept in place at all times. I have thought about simply removing the glass when putting the top in the hoist but that is a three hand operation and I am trying very hard to be able to install / remove the top by myself.
