Jim,
Ill try and get the factory top suplliers name it escapes me for now who
did the everflex ones.
Re the mohair and double duck amd canavs tops.. Various suplliers in uk and
usa... Though you seem to feel the robbins products have dropped in quality
lately.?
Id call and ask Rick (ss) or curt (cs) if they stock or order the correct
tops from the uk
