Series III 88: Canvas "bikini" top?

[LC_rover]

Does anyone know who might sell a "bikini" top for an 88? I have looked at Rovers North and other places with no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Didn't Exmoor offer something like this?

Badger coach works lists one on their website.

[LC_rover]

Yes! Badger does have it on their site. Somehow I missed it when breezing through there earlier. Thanks.

So what supports the bikini top ...custom rollbar or hoop?

[LaneRover]

Bikini? Support? THere's a joke in here somewhere . . .

The front hoop of a soft top supports the rear and the front attaches to the windscreen just like a soft top does.

Are these things really made of "mohair" as in from Angora goats??

Nope. In this case its a type of canvas referred to as "Mohair Canvas" and shortened to just plain old "mohair." Pretty durable material for a convertible top, but its expensive. Commonly found on 356's, merc's, and jags.

Get a Jeep CJ bikini and a windshield frame mount. Should run you about $75 bucks total for both

Have you done this? If so, pictures please! I gotta believe most owners would be interested since you can get a Jeep bikini for about $50.
