<< One of my projects for this winter is to purchase and install a new
soft top for my wife's '58 MGA. An acquaintance of mine strongly
recommended a top made by a company named either Robins or Roberts [he
forgets].
1. Can anyone straighten me out on the name?
I believe it is Robins.
2. Where can I find this brand? Moss? VB?
You may have to call them and ask.
3. Am I, indeed, on the right track or should I consider other
brands? >>
I've put five or six tops on my B and Midgets. These were bought from
Moss,
VB and the first (over ten years ago) was from J C Whitney. I don't believe
Whitneys in LBC stuff anymore. In any case, Iv'e had good luck with all
of
them. Thke you time when doing the installation. Mark things carefully.
Follow directions. Buy a 1/4" leather punch for to make the necessary
holes
for snaps and fasteners. The exception are the four tabs on the rear
fasteners. A scratch all is good here. Just don't make any cuts that can
"run". A round hole is very reluctant to tear.
