Fibreglass roof..
The rules of the country buggy forum are that you must post pics of your buggy - otherwise you will be treated as a perverted peeping tom (okay
perhaps I made those rules up but posting some pics of your buggy and a story of its back ground would be of some use)
As for the roof, plenty of people on here would like a copy of your fibreglass one and the soft tops can be relatively easy to manufacture - I believe
Powers Canvas in Toowoomba did a pretty good job on a buggy recently.
What is the KO of your buggy ? and whereabouts are you located ?

Bearwin,
Firstly, welcome to the weird wonderful world of CB ownership - you have joined a select group.
As far as bows are concerned, try CB CRAIG. His buggy is missing bows as well - he has measured mine to help him copy the original design. He may be
convinced to make more!
Do you know whether your fibreglass roof is original? Original roofs are possibly rarer that the car!

Paul,
Could it be you have your eye on the hardtop???
http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=66444&page=1#pid629429
If someone with molding skills could have this fiberglass top to work from, there might be a market, although small I'll grant you, to sell some
reproduction units if they were of high quality.
Just throwing an idea out there....
Regards,
Steve

Hey Steve,
You've read me like a book. Yes I'm still looking for a hard top, and I've been in contact with the person in Brisbane (I think that's where he
lives) who is going to eventually make a mould from the one he's got, but at this stage he hasn't started yet.
You see, where I live up here in Qld it gets so hot that even if I had a soft top I would never have it down because I'd get cooked. So I would
prefer a hard top.
Eventuall one will turn up, but if not I might have to get the softop just to keep the sun off.
Catch you later.
Paul
