Project ((Two Cute)) a 91 From Yelm Wa

hey anybody know what to google other than aim industries for a Hard top conversion..

Hey Thanks for all the links, I will re read this thread over and over as I make my todo list bigger.

Not only for her mini but my toyota too



I will

the hard top thing was real big back in the 90s.... since then they have died out very fast, real hard to find a company that sells decent ones anymore... good luck....

Thanks there is a guy here that did his and Hummmm... not today or tomorrow but. Hummmm.

not saying that it wouldn't be cool to have just its became harder to find a kit... most now adays make their own........... i personally like the looks of targa, t-top and even roadstars, wish i had the skills id do a targa on mine!!!

yeah it's a good dream, I was telling the wife about it and she thinks it would be a great Summer project.. just not this summer, if i spend all our Money on her truck mine will never get Bagged.

I bagged my civic 6 years ago, I used 1/2" airline (DOT NYLON air brake line). The pressure I'm filling my tank to is 145PSI. I originally used the press in connectors. The press in connectors all started leaking 2 years later. I switched to DOT brass air brake fittings. They have a ferrule that crimps the line also the fitting has a brass insert that goes inside the airline making a snug fit and supports the nylon airline from the inside.

A compression fitting is setup the same way without the brass insert, so I would not use it for Nylon air line.

Maybe other guys have had problems with them but these fittings have worked well for me without leaks.

That last pic you posted has a check valve on it, its the long brass peice. Not sure if its on a filter or air dryer.... but pretty sure the lang brass is the check valve.

Before you start driving the truck I would change the location of the exhaust. The way that it is now the hot exhaust goes straight onto the bag. Driving like that will heat up the bag and make it go "pop". Back in the day I've replaced quite a few bags for that reason. Don't make it turn to the drivers side. Just put it straight back as far as you can and then turn it towards the ground (make sure it will not be blocked when you dump the truck). Other than that nice find. Looks like a solid base to build from.

im still wanting to see some pics of the front setup. Alot of times that is where people will cut corners.
