soft top/hard top and side window questions

[Rickd]

Spooky - could you post photos of the connection points behind the doors? On the ERA FIA there are two ferrules, part of the chassis, behind each door latch, for installing the soft top frame. If the Superformance top could be "modified" to fit the FIA body - I would be interested in purchasing one!!!!!! What does Superformance charge for their hard top? Thanks, Rick.

I drove me Excalibur a LOT with just the soft top on, no side curtains. I used it primarily for the shade, it's HOT in Hawaii. I wouldn't go over more than 60-65 mph with it though, at that speed it did fine.

Also, it was Hartz cloth, unfortunately ERA does not offer Hartz cloth as an option, just the standard vinyl stuff (or what ever it is). I to considered a hard top, but a friend of mine in Hawaii said he was disappointed with his. Here's why. He would start out on a nice cruise and at some point would want to put the top down,,, cannot!!! Once the hard top is on your stuck with it until you get home, I like the flexibility of a soft top.

...wish you were a neighbor Pat, I'd borrow those side curtains, lock in my windshield setting and get my darn soft top installed!

Since you asked-I think the guy needs to get his life priorities in order.
And at this stage, it seems like a replica of any kind should not be among them.

Just realized-I don't have a soft top or curtains or even pillow shams-I shouldn't even be in this guy's thread.
