It is near perfect.
It is so good that I am able to id all the seals. I will be sourcing seal matches and when I have them all I will offer replacement seals to others. I will take and post pics this weekend. |

So someone start making a similar top now. It would be worth $400 for a new one that was well made. John |

You would have to sell 2000 of em probably to get close to breaking even if you didnt pay yourself for development. Just a guess but that is probably why we don't see new ones in the works. Jim |

Jim I assume that the original tooling was destroyed or its whereabouts are unknown... |
