High rise cubby
Any suggestions for a high rise cubby? Leaning towards the one from Lucari although it looks very high (perhaps too high) compared to the factory one. Many thanks

I think Exmoor Trim do just a lid. And slightly lower. Mine is medium height, not as high as Lucari which I think looks a bit odd. I think I got it from ET. Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Does anyone do a black leather (rather than vinyl) high top cubby lid?  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Hi had one custom made to my spec height (as I have the cubby mounted on a sub-box) and trimmed to my liking. I cannot praise the quality highly enough, very reasonably priced too.

Have a look at Regis.pike on Instagram. I’m in no way affiliated, just well chuffed with his work.

I made an extended lid for mine to create a bit of extra storage space:

Just raise your existing cubby on some 35mm -50mm home made legs. You can decide the perfect height for you and the cost is minimal.

You can never have too much storage space Wink Darren

Ian Baughan at IRB sourced me a proper leather lid.

My Xs cubby is raised on spacers and I have an alpine sub fitted on its rear. No resonance / vibration issues Smile

What spacers are you using? I'm using 20mm plastic spacers.
