soft top hoop parts

[73series88]

hey guys
so im getting a bikini top for my truck.
not me just the truck
since the hoop parts are so expensive. i can only buy
a couple parts at a time
could i get away with just running the front hoop and windscreen top
for a little while. or is it going to just flop all over.
thanks
aaron

I think you would need the bits around the doors as well.

Arron, Jeff here.
contact me if interested in looking for some soft top hoops, used of course, just a thought, we met a few times at Deer Lake, remember?

Jeff,
If Aaron does not take you up on your offer I would be more than happy to purchase them. Extraordinary circumstances this summer showed me that those hoops indeed cannot support the weight of the vehicle, and mine were crushed.

I believe Don Flye has a set in his barn as well.

Hey Aaron, when you get your bikini top, could you lay it out flat and take some pics and send them to me? I want to make myself one, but can't find a pattern.

(And back up a level to their tech page for other good stuff (including bend angles for the hoops).

Oh well...I was hoping to see how they tackled the hard part--The over-door rail.

I think I have the windshield bar and perhaps the center rear hoop from a 109. Maybe a few other (I forget exactly what. It's been two years since I tried to put together an 88 hoop set from parts). If anyone is interested, ask.

If anyone is interested, ask.

...Asking about the windshield bar in a PM...

[EDIT:] That is, of course, if Aaron doesn't want/need it.

I have spares of over the windshield, over the door and behind the door parts.
