I got my top just a few days ago and will be fitting it this Spring when the weather warms up enough. I downloaded ERA's soft top instruction manual and also copied Dan's process into a file for reference, so I now have a greatly enhanced instruction manual. Thanks Dan, your very detailed descriptions will be a tremendous help. I was going to say I owe you a beer, but a steak dinner is probably more like it.

Shoot Kevin - wished I lived closer now. I guess it was in your PM that you mentioned the roll bar leg. Not sure of the best way to deal with working the top around that - glad I didn't have that to mess with. I think I would be inclined to pull the rear leg if possible, fit the top, slice the top and install the leg, and lay the patch over it and mark the top with a crayon where it needs to be spliced in. Sounds like a good question for Jack at ERA if you haven't already asked him about it. But I know you will figure it out.

Thanks Dan

Kevin,

If you want to take a spin up to western NY you can take a look at my top. Jack installed mine, so you an get a good look at what he is talking about. I am about 5 hours away. Nice wine country up here, you could make a weekend trip.

Jim
