serious maggiolina adaption - thoughts wanted

Re: Acme threads: Keep inmind that they, by design, do not bind or lock up. It is nearly impossible to jam nut them and have the bind hold for very long. If you need the binding action of the threads to hold a position Acme's may not be the best choice.

Thanks for the comment. Luckily I'm in (was in) the mechanical engineering game so I have that one covered. When you have so many lift options already in use by someone somewhere plus the possibility of your own "unique" requirements to consider, making the choice is sometimes harder than the fabrication.

Reimo make a sell a standard range of popup roofs which are design for aftermarket fitment - would one of these be better rather than chopping up a Maggolina?

One like this:

I can't find any pics of it popped, goes straight up vertical with canvas walls...
