This Top?

Anyone know the munufacturer of the top on the red and white car and will it fit an ERA?

Hard top
 
The hard top in the picture belongs to a superformance cobra,i do not think it will fit the era style car.

The interchangeability will depend on how accurate the SPF is. :rolleyes:

Dimensions that I would compare:

Height of the roll bar and clearance to the inside of the top.
Location of the roll bar back-brace and how much clearance there is to the hard top.
Angle of the windshield.

If the top comes unpainted, it's not a big deal to trim or add to the contour where it meets the rear cowl to match the ERA.

I wouild suggest the CCX top for sale in the For Sale forum. CCX was accurate, large rubber gasket (fitment plus), and a $ steal compared to SPF top.

SPF has their rollbar brace closer to the cockpit than ERA. I doubt that top will work on an ERA.

Thanks everyone. I'm trying to stretch the driving season a bit.:)

Will fit however it will take some effort as the roll bar will be a consideration. All you do is cut a slot in the top and fill with ally sheet bent of course. Thus the need for unfinished top.

I think the top you posted would work Jeff. I don't think the red top will though due to the back window. I should have been more clear.

Bob - do you think that top could be retrofitted to fit an ERA 289 FIA?

strictlypersonl 07-15-2010 06:42 PM
Rick,

The only way I could have a better idea is to see a shot directly from the top. Then I could semi-model the contour. The original FIA race car's hard top configuration had an extension to move the filler to the surface of the top itself, to make filling faster.
