Hello guys.
One of my tops is due to be shipped to Oregon (USA) later this month. I will tell my customer that there is some interest on here and maybe he can get a mould taken from it to save everyone else the silly shipping costs and make himself a little money back. 
I found that the shape across the trunk/boot lid is similar on a few cars over here, but the shape over the rear wings/fenders is very different.
We had to also extend the roof over the cockpit to reach the screen on the Dax, the distance on a dax from the "B" post to the point where the rear of the screen pillar passes through the body is 760mm approx (From memory).
From this the screen rake is critical. And this was way before we got into working out a way to make a suitable tailgate.
The rear screens are bespoke but I'm sure you could get these copied in the States for a lot less that we had to pay to get it developed in the UK.
Regards.
