Help needed - replacement soft top for CJ7
Hi All,
I'm new to this forum - so apologies if this is covered in another thread/s.
Can anyone recommend a good and cheap way to get a replacment soft-top for my 1982 CJ7. I recently was having the jeep transported on the back of a truck and during the transport the soft-top was lost! So I have no roof at present -which means that I need to hope this good Sydney weather holds out, and which also means I have no template for a replacement either...I spoke to one auto-upholsterer/soft top restorer who quoted $2,500!!
I'm not sure if the soft-top was a 'factory' soft top - it had no branding anywhere (like bestop) - it's connection at the front was through a rail on the top of the windscreen and it attached to the body tub via push studs that are mounted about 5cm down from the tub lip - if anyone can tell me whether this sounds 'factory' or not that'd be great as one option for me may be to source a factory replacement soft-top from the US...
So any help would be greatly appreciated - from where I could get a good replacement cheaply, through to a recommendation on a good upholsterer/soft-top maker if that's a better option - I'm Sydney-based.
Thanks!
