[Tigers] Fw: Hard Top Source

[Jeff Howarth]

Hi Michael,

you are right, they are a little thicvker in places due to the strength 
of the fiberglass.

They are a good top and fit well though. They are also a lot lighter as 
someone previously said so reduce weight and the tiger race guys use 
them over here.

the steel tops here tend to be pretty rusty so if you have a GT alpine 
with no soft top, they are a good option., Obviously they are also an 
improvement in a hot climate over the back canvas roof.

If I am passing them,  I will take some photos and put them up for the 
list.

If there is interest, I am happy to speak to them and  see if they would 
do a deal for a batch to go overseas. - I know about a dozen went to the 
USA a few years back.


regards


Jeff
