Hi Dave,
I have used 1/2" electrical conduit for this purpose.  Easy to manipulate a=
nd inexpensive.  If you have a welder, you can just tack weld to the door o=
penings and perhaps a side to side diagonal support as well.  If a welder i=
s not available, the conduit ends can be pinched/flattened and a hole drill=
ed for a bolt/screw to hold it in place.  You can connect to the upper hing=
e and convertible top bows attachment locations. =20
