soft top for KMS 289 car

[Karl Bebout]

The bows that ERA sell are very nice because they are adjustable both for width and height. They can also supply the header bows that attach to your windshield frame.
I recently purchased a top from ERA and it is a very nice quality. Pretty sure that Robbins actually produces the top but I don't know about the bows and hardware.
After receiving mine, I had a good Marine upholstery shop do the fitting, which will be necessary for the specific car. 'taint cheap, but very nice.

Fitting a soft top to one of these cars, so that it fits right, is a very rare skill. I wouldn't even dream of tackling it myself. I would sooner install the engine, trans and rear with a blindfold on.

Try Hillbank as well. The SPF Mk2 top might fit. They sell the top and side curtains together for around $1400.

www.europaspares.com and/or gerry@hawkcars.co.uk should be able to provide the top hardware. Robbins can provide the top.

There are differences in the ferrules for the top frame, the SPF/current Shelby are located further outboard of the KMS which are welded to the birdcage as per AC supplied chassis.
