And, to expand on MrMustang's comment, not all tops will fit over the roll bar. Sometimes the bars are too tall and have to be modified. My top will fit a Butler and Arntz and maybe others...just don't know till one does some fitting.

Not only does the top need to fit the rear fenders but the windshield angle is critical and most often needs to be modified to fit just right.

DanEC.....I don't think it has been fitted on an ERA, but the body shape is similar. If you are coming to the Texas Meet in San Marcos, we can see if it would fit your car.

The top comes off very easy...four clips...it can be off in 15 seconds with 2 people.

Well - I'm still building and not up and running yet, but it looks like a nice top and I'll keep it in mind.

Thanks
