Post by kit »

Anyone know how much I should expect to pay for a pop top and where I should start looking for one? Please.

Plus it depends on what you want, westy's are nice but a bugger to fit,We know we did one. Devon's are great and much easer to fit, look at mats pic on fitting a devon. Will give some idea. :D
