Those used to be the only game in town if you wanted an OEM top, they should fit like factory. Keep in mind you’ll have to modify a bit on late model (lean in B pillars) to match doors. Search for Paki top and you’ll find some info ...

Both vendors are no longer in the business, unfortunately. However, do a search on here for @Trollhole tops and/or Julie. They make great OEM style tops these days.
I bought some paki bows a few years ago from another Mud member. The fit to the frame and doors is good and easily adjusted. My only issue so far has been that the 90 degree bend on the first top 2 cross pieces is a slightly larger radius and shorter height than what my top from Jule was sewn for, although most people wouldn't even know that by looking at it.

There's a pic of the bows here.

My understanding is that this caused by all the softtops being made for early style bows that do not tilt inward at the doors like later style. This makes for too much material across the main hoop over the door.
I have a 79 FJ40. The bows for it match my 79 doors and angle in at the top. The back has the cross bars that are made to fit soft ambulance doors. The bows seem like the right ones for my 40. However I think the top I have was made for the earlier doors and bows the go straight up. The top...
I have read of some issues with your 70 series tops in the past on the forum. Have issues been squared away with production and delivery for your products, or is this a new venture that will come with risk to the buyers?
