Custom Soft Top

Can anyone recommend somewhere to get a soft top made up for the Middy? Obviously there is nothing on the market so it would be a full custom job.

I'm in melbourne round the caulfield area but more than prepared to travel if the price and quality is right

Thanks

Maria off here makes custom stuff for Zuks. I can't see why she couldn't do one for you. She is in Bris though.

2 Bottles of Bundi and a $100 but he is a friend.

My advice give him a call.

Mine is actually a 2 piece roof so I can run Bikini top or wind Jammer independently depending on the weather.

x a gazillion. You'd be hard pressed to find better pricing, service or quality anywhere else.

Marin my Navi seems to get his face in everywhere.


The rear window matched the cage inside. You can also see how the bikini top comes over the wind jammer, it also has a full velcro strip along the top as well as the two tension straps. No flapping in the wind at all.

Thats very similar to what I was hoping to do. Do you know how much that cost? Does it use the existing roll cage for its shape or did it need its own internal frame?

Thanks

That looks like the original roll bar/seat belt bar to me.

personally i'd be running elastic loops on the rear to keep it tight and make it easier to use year round.

Pauly/Cockatoo canvass did a mates old middy, not the best image but anyway
