Hi Bigbang, these are pretty scarce now, like rocking horse shite. All doors don't fit all roofs as they changed when they became sierra based. Of course they can be made to fit with cutting and fiberglass. I modified later doors to fit my early hardtop.

Being a few members are looking for a hardtop, why don't we get together and buy the moulds which were advertised, and find someone who can manufacture a few roofs.

Being a few members are looking for a hardtop, why don't we get together and buy the moulds which were advertised, and find someone who can manufacture a few roofs. This has been suggested a while back, but I put it to forum members, as did terryrob,, that there are 2 types of RV hardtop, the later being with the introduction of a Ford Sierra chassis.
Which mold is it for sale ? -- who knows, and who is going to confirm the type ? and financially unsustainable to get a mold and spend hours making a DECENT hard top. Does it have a rubber seal at the base ( to be procurred ) / rear upper tailgate ( to be procured ? - rams and seal ) / rear window / side windows etc etc.
Sorr y to put a damper on this -- but
Add the cost of purchase,and transport to manufacturer who will have to rectify any damage / refurbish the actual mold side / fiberglass, resin etc, and minimum of 4 hours to prepare, fibreglass, trim, put it in a timber frame ready to deliver to customer, plus transport costs to customer, you could be looking at £ 500 end product.
And how many would you sell at £ 500 3 ? and how many would be wanting the model we got. If you have to alter the roof and doors to fit, you probably won't bother to buy.
As at 2nd May 2023, we had 12 paid up members, -- + 4 rejoined, + 2 new members joined at Malvern show.
We have a hard enough time to get members to pay the yearly fee, and most on facebook / and Eagle forum just wont join. So don't expect a rush for funds for this.
We have voted for the cost of a secure web page and revamp, but current membership fees won't be enough to procure.
If some one wants to verify the model, and produce ONE and see how many people want that particular model roof, feel free to purchase an unknown model and initially someone drive down to check the dimentions in their R.V.
Sorr y to be negative but the small quantiy envisaged to be sold of only one of two models, is not worth the risk, in my opinion.
