Thanks everyone for their replies! I responded to each reply individual and it was pretty lengthy, not sure why it is not shown.

Good news to much of my engineering cerfitcation and registration questions!

Can anyone shed some light on tonneau covers and removable hard-tops?

Also, what ball park figure would I be expecting to pay for insurance?

I have a hardtop that I have started modding to fit. Its not too difficult a job if you are confident with fibreglass. Not sure if there are any manufacturers offering a direct fit option on hardtops?

Mine is from Mr Bruce (in the USA) who is on this forum. He makes the bottom edge oversize so that it can be trimmed to fit.



Cheers

Although slightly higher comparing just Cobra to Cobra.
Cobra alone on limited use full rego is $550.00 with Shannons. Or $520 with LSV.

F***! WOW! That is cheap! I'm sold, but I'm not sure if I will get that much for under 30 and what's their definition of limited use?

WOW! Pretty much what I would be looking for. I'm getting sold again!

Dreams slowing becoming reality...

I think Tenrocca's right about Aussie made cobras and hardtops. DRB had one I think but not sure about what they're doing now.

Backdraft Cobras out of the USA/SA do a few hardtop versions to fit there various models.







I've actually been trying for about 18 months now to get a "PRICE" to buy one one off Backdraft but the response to even get a price ex-USA is as good as the front RHS fender on BDR 00. Hopelessly Roooted!

I've given up trying now.

Thanks for the pictures and the second hard-top type is definitely what I had in mind. I'm sure there are plenty of people wanting or interested in removable hard-tops and the market is there, so not sure why it seems kinda rare...
