Parts needed to complete side curtains?

[Grubby]

I have a soft top for my car and saw these side curtain frames - https://www.europaspares.com/product...S___CSSS_.html

For about $250 US, I think I could complete these much cheaper than about $550 from Cobra Restorers. What are your thoughts?

I think the trick would be getting them to pin into the ERA provided ferrels. Even the ERA supplied side screens take some adjustments/tweaking to get them to fit. They are not cheap but you may be money ahead to order a set from ERA.

The pin location on the ERA-fit curtains will actually fall to the outside of the original side curtain frames. This is because we widened the cockpit a bit so your knuckles don't hit the door when using an original-diameter steering wheel.

From which chassis number on did this change begin Bob?

Thanks for the good information. I suspected that.

From the beginning. Every 427.

We did change things on the FIA so that the pins fall on a normal channel, although not the same as on the OEM side curtains.
