<< One of my projects for this winter is to purchase and install a new

      forgets].
      
      1.  Can anyone straighten me out on the name?

        I believe it is Robins.
      
      2.  Where can I find this brand?  Moss? VB?

        You may have to call them and ask.
      
      3.  Am I, indeed, on the right track or should I consider other 
      brands? >>

        I've put five or six tops on my B and Midgets. These were bought from 
Moss,
VB      and the first (over ten years ago) was from J C Whitney. I don't believe
Whitneys        in LBC stuff anymore. In any case, Iv'e had good luck with all 
of
them. Thke you  time when doing the installation. Mark things carefully.
Follow directions. Buy a        1/4" leather punch for to make the necessary 
holes
for snaps and fasteners. The    exception are the four tabs on the rear
fasteners. A scratch all is good here. Just     don't make any cuts that can
"run". A round hole is very reluctant to tear.
