strange soft top

[74 Scout ii]

I picked up a soft top today for $10 in Portland, OR today and it appears to be a black sun tanner style. I figure it is a remake but for price with the hardware I couldn't pass it up. The top is in pretty good shape and has the bed cover.

after closer inspection it was white and has been dyed black so it could be an original, have pics but need to resize them so I can upload them

That's a steal. I'll give you 20 for it!

about all I would consider doing is trading for a full soft top

Pics of it laying on my hanger floor while I try to figure out what pieces go where

-Wow!!!

---Very nice buy! Soft door hardware & all?

---For $10, I would have driven to get it too, even if I had to drive as far as from AL!

---It would have cost less in gas, than time trying to find an industrial sewing machine to stitch the 30 yards of 75/25 sail material I have tucked away. Just landed a full roll of paper for making my pattern, but I'm slowly working on other materials like sturdy hardware... and I predict the project will still be waiting for me to acquire the chromed bimini hardware. Most of those* parts cost more than aeroquip's special*, swivel AN fittings!

---Then it'll be on to a hoop of some sort, like a Razorback (?) from a Dakota (not cutting my Traveltop!) & finding T-top glass to closely match. I'd love a soft top, but am leaning toward t-topping & soft topping the rear seating & cargo area, so the windshield frame can have the extra support. I've heard about good frames being pushed back from the wind sheer @ highway speeds when the smoking windows (AKA "wing windows") aren't there for extra support.

You got a DEAL! You might call John @ SSS and see if he would borrow or rent for a pattern. So his new soft top vendor could make them.

And to say you got a deal is a major under statement!

X2. If not SSS, there is soft topper out of Colorado.

I had a regular used top lined up out side of town that needed some hardware for $150. I was considering it but the darn thing reeked like cat pee...

Is it for the SSII or just a "normal" scout II?
