soft top needed

Post by kevin9044 » Thu Sep 11, 2014 1:31 pm

Hi everyone, im new to the club and have just bought 2 sj's with the intention of fixing them up. One is a tin top (very rotten body) and the other a 93 samurai soft top. It has nothing for the roof at all!! No clips, brackets, bow or hood. Can anyone help me out with sourcing these parts as im really struggling. Can get the hood easy enough but nothing to hold it tight or on. Please help..I really want to get it back to original condition and not cut it up, I want to do that to the tin top!
Thanks
Kev

Welcome to the club.

Mike Harris may well be able to sort out what you need.
Try asking in the wanted section and if he doesn't spot it PM him.

Or give him a ring http://forum.suzukiclubuk.co.uk/me ... le&u=14965

Don't know what differences there are over the years (If any?)

Don't think there were any. I've put a 410 soft top on a 413. Fastbacks fit all models too.
If it ticks over...leave it

hmmm yes that is rather corroded... but you could virtual lift it and you wouldn't have to chop much off that front arch ;)

if its like that there i dread to see the other arches, sills and the inside floor
