Ok,
I have an original and can make a better version on the seals needed.
It is not as good for sealing as the WAS tops we made, but making a lower grade version of these roofs will allow for a mass production of the roors. If we could be in the $500 range with seals it could work.
The big problem I ran into was the ones I made were VERY labor intensive. I have 3 ready to assemble but they will take a mi imum of 15 hrs each so putting this off has been too easy. I can form the materials easy enough, but the easier product will allow for me to support the old roofs.
Ill dig mine out Sunday and play with this some.

We will,
I think dumbing down the procesd will be the ley. Dont get me wrong. These will still tale time, but need to be set up for mass production
Ill work more on this this next week and start a thread.

I'd be up for one of these. It would go perfectly with the new roll bar pads you'll be making. These are still in your plans to produce, aren't they?

Yes the roll bar pads are actually underway as soon as I'm satisfied with the product and I can get prices confirmed I will do a GB. My target for this is this summer.

Bought this Saratoga top many years ago for $50 at a sway meet. Made my own weatherstrip to replace the original stuff. Ray

Working on drawings. This is not a project I can bang out like the clutch cable stops.
