The soft top..
A bit of research has gone into the manufacture of a new soft top...
In a moment of insanity I decided I could make one myself and the attached thread will document the journey of the last few weeks... http://www.aussiefrogs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102990
The rear window was marked/cut and the shape formed. The window plastic is 1.6mm thick and was glued in place with Selleys All clear, then a second window frame glued and sewn over top (see picture of interior in post #142 ).
Tensioning straps were installed along the edges of the frame, these are to help the mechanism open as well as acting as a wear pad to provide longevity for the top.
Chrome plated brass fitting clips were used in favour of Stainless steel and they seem quite robust.
