Need a top for my ERA FIA - ideal would be a hard top. Issue is gassing up an FIA with a top on (don't like the Lemans top), as the FIA filler ends up inside of the top. Are there any 'more robust' hoop frame sets for soft tops - that make them less prone to rattle etc? FFR has a deal with a soft top builder (Rod Tops DTS) for a superior top - not affected by wind. But expensive - and to do one for an ERA it would be 100% custom and very expensive ($5,000). Don't recall my old MGA top being a problem - but that was 40 years ago - Jim Morrison & the munchies!! Any tips on a better quality soft top frame and maybe I will go that route - as it's a quick "unsnap" to get to the filler, and you're off! Still in the evaluation phase!! Thanks. Rick
