hello folks...
the "top" for my roadster is the last thing on my mind (especially living in
southern
california)
but imho... why waste your money on vinyl top that shrinks, fades and
eventually
cracks. i saw the rag top that andrew murphy supports on his roadster that
is made out
of black canvas ,just like those on the porcshe, and it is beautiful. it's
probably
little more money but worth every penny. i think it is available through
classic datsun
motorsports
just my 2cents

HEY LIST,
I have one of those $135 tops on my 1600. Did the instalation myself several
years ago. It came from the guy in Chelsea Ma that advestises in Hemmings. I
went over to meet him,bought the top,it came in 2 weeks later. While I would
put something of higher quality on my 2000 when its done this $135 top is
PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE. In fact it still surprises me how well it fit and how
complete it was. No fading on the rear plastic yet,not a single crack or
teer. Just thinking its got to be 5 years old now.If you have an old cracked
top and can't afford a new one call this guy. PS I just checked my latest
Hemmings and he is STILL THERE. His name is Sidney,in Chesea ,Ma.
781-929-8888. And they are still $135
