Ken, in '93 I replaced my TR4 top with a Robbins from TRF. Since I had
replaced the top in 1972 with a factory original I had the opportunity to
compare the two. The Robbins is excellent as far as originality and the
quality is also excellent. They even made one for me with a tan interior
(rather than the black interior TRF had) because the original was tan. And
at no extra cost - just had to wait a few weeks. Don't know about the other
brands, but I recommend Robbins.
Whatever top you buy, I strongly recommend that you get some advice before
you do any installation. I didn't and almost screwed it up.
