in the back im using the topsy hoist brackets.
the actual hoist is RAD Sportz Bicycle Hoist. im using 2 of them and each is rated for 100lbs, so I figured they would be more than adequate for the hardtop. I removed the bicycle attachment and replaced with an eye bolt and carabiner. the eye bolt is “not rated for overhead lifting” but at the same time its rated for 3500lbs. Can anyone recommend an eye bolt that is rated for overhead? As for the hoist, too be honest, it feels a little flimsy and im not exteremly confident in the system.
im really concerened with the front and the pressue on the hardtop sitting on the 2x4. If you look close at the pic you can see I sandwiched a 1/4” piece of furniture padding between the hardtop and the 2x4. Do you think this is ok? Or should I maybe go to a 2x6” to spreadout the load over a larger area?
All feedback is appreciated.
