soft top frame repro available
« on: April 13, 2017, 20:39:03 »
A repro frame of the soft top is proposed on a Polish site for approx 3700$
No idea whether this is made in Poland or elsewhere, nor what is the quality of the item. However for some Pagoda owners whose son tops are damaged beyond repair this maybe a path to explore.

The site is in Polish only, but there a few pics and for the text: google translate does miracles

Interesting. If they are made to factory specs/measurements, It would be nice if they also offered parts to replace certain sections of a damaged frame or hardware. Instead of condemning the whole top.

Stan,

Thanks for posting.    The video link on his site is also worth seeing.

Tyler, I think that since they commercialise it and probably also make it, they could sell parts as well...
