          Hi Ian, sorry about not getting back to you sooner. I decided to go with a cloth top looks more authentic. I decided to use Sunbrella fabric, the type of canvas that they use on boat tops, I just got a hold of a local boat top guy gave him my old vinyl top to use as a pattern. He charged me $600 all in for the top, tonnoue cover, and side, got him to do a roll up rear window so I can use it in the hot sun and get some shade with a nice breeze blowing thru. Just try your local boat canvas chaps. Hope this helps.
          Richard
