The devil will be in the detail here - getting it to seal well, mounting points, window/hatch hinges, toughened glass, locks, etc.

At roughly $5000 to import (2.4x conversion + freight/duties) you'd want to be able to make up your own 'spares'.

Samba, I think all that would be sorted looking at the apparent quality of the thing.

At $5000.00 is a reasonable price.

At this stage I've spent over $2000.00 on a conventional hard top and have yet to make side and back windows to my satisfaction.

That $2000.00 does not include a $hitload of "make it fit" and " make it look better" type labour.

My current hard top now is a window less version of the SPF ( see Cameron Parsons gallery) so I am very happy with it but if I had to pay commercial rates to get it looking like it does I'd expect maybe $3000.00.

Sorry I should've been more obvious... I meant buying one from the UK and reverse engineering the thing to assist with making copies.

But yeah, if you're already spending 3k on a hard top that you're still not happy with, might be worth starting over with one of these.
