Ok . Back to the topic. Colors available for 40 tops are
black, Tan , Grey and Off White in Vinyl
Black, Green and Khaki in canvas
Prices are the same whatever the material.
Situation in Pakistan: Things are back to normal here for some time now. The businesses are back up after a closure of 3-4 days. Everything is calm and there is no roiting or looting going on. Police is in control. I went to McDonnalds with my wife and 2 year old son last night and had a nice time.
Thanks

i know it sucks but sometimes all you have to do is read a thread and you'll find your answers!

if you want something make sure you decide quickly - if you read a page or two back it was discussed that orders have to be final soon - next wednesday i think?

OK. Here is the Ehsan bimini modified. I had four 1" nylon straps sewn onto the outside of the top. Two come down in the back and are easy to see, the other two are just in line with the middle bows and come down into the cab just at the door pillar. Now I can run 60 and the top does not flap.

My day job is not that exciting. For a month each year though I am the "set up the umbrella, shlep the beer cooler, start the bonfire guy". The funny tray on the front of my cruiser keeps sand (and salt) out of the back. The picture was taken in Grayton Beach, Florida.

I can't get pricing until the order closes and I tell Ehsan how many of each type of top we have.

Order

Hi all,

What would the chances be of ordering enough vinyl to cover a set of OEM soft doors? I am sure it would not cost me that much and it would match the Pakistan top I alrready have. I would be looking to order enough material to do three doors in case I screw up. It needs to be tan colored vinly. Thanks.

I hope Ehsan accepts PayPal. That was my plan also. I'll ask him when I submit the order for pricing.

Thanks. Bill.
The bikini is small top that only covers the front seats. You need the factory bows for it to fit. There is a picture of it somewhere on here.

I feel like the odd man out being the only 5 window top purchaser.

Sputnik: That is very similar to the Bimini Top. See post #94.

Description from TPI's webpage: Same high grade bikini top as above, only designed longer to fit over the TPI rear family cage. Midway loops with buckles wrap around bar to hold top firmly while driving. Comes with footman loops. Gives full rain and sun protection for the whole family or equptment in back seat area. Black. $69.95.

I'd order another TPI but the vinyl was too thin for me, and I'd really like one in Khaki canvas.
You are better off measuring the distance from the windshield to the end of the cage and determine how long you need it to be. Ehsan can make it for you. His bikini tops cost $150 so $69 is cheaper option.

I'm out - many many apologizes for any inconveniences. Someone called and pointed out I'm way ahead of myself on my re-build and have other priorities. I'm going to be better off finishing those - and then getting in next order with everything measured out exactly as it needs to be. Again - sorry to all. Bill.
