The BT7 top frames are hard to find used. There is a new one available
that is a excellent repro.
As for the top material it depends on what you want. We supply and
install lots of tops on all the British Cars and it is about 50 /50 for
the Everflex and Stayfast materials.
The Stayfast looks a lot nicer but when installing there is no
stretching of the material so it is harder to install with no wrinkles.
Also when you wash the car DO NOT dry it off with a towel. It will pick
up the lint and if the top is black it will show up really bad.
The Everflex top is original it will stretch and is easier to install.
Personally I prefer the Stayfast tops the look better and are available
in many colors.
