I was just given a bunch of canvas this week-end, and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a pattern for a bikini top for my 109 for the summer months?

I have heard Cj-7 bikini tops can sort of fit. Maybe you could track down one of those and adjust as needed. I have a bunch of sunbrella for my Swan and was thinking of doing something similar. Good luck! and keep us posted1970 Series IIA 109 EX-MOD

Do you have access to a complete canvas top? If I were to make one I'd copy the front half complete with the straps that go to the windshield and then look at the pictures on All Wheel Trim or Exmoor to see how they attach the straps to the rear.

I have a bikini top that I think is a jeep type. I will never use it if anyone is interested. It is in great shape.THING 1 - 1973 88 SIII - SOLD

No i don't, I only have a 3/4 top with rear hoops.
If I were a bit closer to you I'd probably be interested if for no other reason than to use it for a pattern.
If I can figure out a decent pattern, I'll post a link to a digital file to the pattern for everyone to use, and post a build thread here too. I personally think that the bikini top is the way to go in a Series Rover for the summer time. Especially after having driven my previous rig for so many years with a hard top every summer. I've already decided that I'm not going to go through that kind of torture again, but at the same time a little shade and some cover from the occasional thunder storm would be nice.Comment
