Britax ragtop into standard 71 bug
Hey. I got the ragtop from Che Castro (formerly from Volksfolks) for 'Elmo' the 71 standard bug.
Just a little concern. I think the thing is from 1954 (based on the pic on the original for sale post) and I was wondering if there will be any dramas
fitting it due to differences in roof curvature (if this exists)?
Cheers |

I was looking at getting that roof.
I rang up sun roof places in the yellow pages until i found one that had an installer. Finally found one, but took a little while.
Maybe try some panel beaters - ones that specialise in rods??
Prices will vary - anywhere between $100 to $400 is my guess.
Futue te ipsum!!!

Just got quoted $800 in labour (2days). Surely it wouldn't be that much work?! |
