ragtop for square

Post by stanthedog »

Who sells the ragtop kits, are they worth a damn. I'd like to put a bus rag on my 73 square.

So, Where do I get mine and hopefully I'll be ready to do that invasion thing. My new motor is almost ready to go in. Weather is warming, so body work is about to commence.

You do not want a street beat..

Search Ebay for a "BRITAX" out of production.. only buy it complete..

Should cost about $200

Yes...the Britax was superb. I saw a few and long thought of installing one in my 412. I didn't know they were out of business. Ray

No complaints with mine except no interior headliner on the rag (exposed ribs). Using it for years and is water-tight 8)

Britax style are NICE...I'd recommend them but that style, in full-length, ain't even gonna come CLOSE to $200! Try well above north of $600 ;) Mine was ~$600 ten years ago.
