At Triumphfest last year, there was a TR3A that the owners had
fabricated a, for want of better words, a "sun top".
They used some mesh fabric normally used to screen garden stuff, put
on a few fasteners, stretched it over the top bows and "Voila" a
SunTop. It was straight from the sides of the windshield back to the
cockpit, allowed air to flow through and very effectively blocked the
sun.
Took only a couple of minutes to install, most folks who saw it,
including me were very impressed. Don't know if there are enough
sidescreen TRs that would want one to make it commercially feasible,
but it seemed simple enough to make yourself (they did).
