I need to see some examples of soft tops.

I have been trying to deteremine what to do about a soft top for my Everett-Morrison (96" wheeelbase). E-M is still restructuring, so I can't order the top from them. Soft tops from other manufacturers may or may not work. This is where you come in. I want to look at examples of soft tops to see what may or may not work. Take some measurments. Take some pictures. I have spoken with Don Scott, and he thinks the Classic Roadster soft top may fit. So if you have a CR I definitely want to hear from you.

Thanks,
Mark

EM four inches wider as well as six inches longer?

I understand the CR is both wider and longer (4inches both ways I think).

OH, wider and longer than Evans car (lol), THE standard.

Excaliber: Thanks. That is great good news to me. Might I ask where you got these dimensions?

Assumption on my part! You see, there is strong evidence that the Excal's were duplicated from the C.R.'s.

An "ex" C.R. engineer employee was hired by Excal to set up their Cobra program. Several others have concured that indeed the measurments, bodies, etc. are the same.

So, the easy way to confirm would be to ask someone WHAT is the length and width of a C.R. The Excal was 4" X 4", I know that for a FACT! It's actually not an easy anwer to "nail down". People measure things different ways and different places!
