Mr Bruce Lemans top group buy.
If anyone is interested in a mr Bruce hard top pm me as I'm thinking about putting together a group but like Gav did a few years ago. I'll post pics shortly.
Price if I can get 5 will be about $1400 + shipping roughly. That includes price of shipping crate. Shipping will be to Gold Coast.
No idea on shipping yet.
Money once qty confirmed will be all up front.
Spookypt
Ps: Craig if u want one of my shipments pm me and I'll arrange.
So far

I would also be keen depending on how they would fit a slightly lengthened Harrison.

Brucey Boys tops are a well priced, well made top.
But like all tops are designed to fit a particular car, or more accurately a particular length door opening and the angle of the rear guards.
Getting one of these tops to fit any Aussie car is going to require modification.
It's not too hard, but it is a lot of work and you just need to be prepared to have a go.
But I think the results are well worth the effort.

Thanks everyone for your PM's. As Gav suggests, the tops are "not designed" to fit Australian manufactured cobra bodies and they would require small to large mods to make them work. If you have a DAX, ERA or F5 you may be OK depending on what top you selected.
Gav's HT looks a treat but did require some mods to suit the CR body.
In essence, the idea is to bring in a few as a HT base to work from but everyone who buys is going to need to do their own mods small or large to suit their desired outcomes.
I'm also looking at the new Backdraft top (although I hate the gullwing door shape) as I know it will fit my car and also comes with the windscreen and A pillars affixed which is a completely different design to Mr Bruce's where his top affix to existing windscreen frame etc.
From the PM's I have, most want the certainty that the tops will fit their cars (bolt on without mods) which I can't and won't offer. Its completely up to those interested to have the confidence to modify from a base and turn it into something that works. Its not hard but for some it may be considered so.
If I get 5 people who are happy to accept the above I'll work towards arranging something but if not that's cool too.
If you want to see what they look like go to the "For Sale" section and look up hard tops by "MrBruce".
Regards
Matt

I'm sending them downunder with an extra long header, where it bolts to the windscreen, slice off what you don't need, a little glaswork, and yall should be good to go, like Matt says, if you want a direct bolt on, nope, but if you guys want to have me come down and do them for you, we're gonna need more than a handfull of orders.

How about if we shout you breakfast at one of the Queensland club's monthly get togethers on the Gold Coast? That's worth travelling half way around the world for, right there!

Allow at least $400 for windscreen bows, over-centre latches, weather seals, etc.
Does it come with side windows or an opening rear window for access to the boot?
