On the hunt for full metalwork set for soft top conversion of Defender 90. Am based North Yorkshire but distance not an issue (may give me a chance to give the old gal a run). Must be in good condition however. Here's hoping!
 
Hi,

I've got a full setup from mine as I've just converted to a hard top.

They aren't standard hood sticks though, it's more like the safety devices / exmoor trim heavy duty setup (XS Hood - Heavy Duty Bar Set) but bolts to the cappings rather than down to the chassis. It's also one piece and welded rather than being bolt together - so you will need a trailer or to drive down with no roof to collect ;) I have no idea on a manufacturer but it's very substantial. It's got the door tops attached, and the clamp down bit above the screen, brackets for the seat belts etc.

Only problem is that they are in Gloucestershire - bit of a trek for you!!

If you are interested I'll get some pics and work out a price.

Cheers

Jon

Hi Jon

Thanks for the reply.

Am interested although as you say, a bit of a trail from 'up North'. I think I've seen the set-up you're talking about at one of the shows - tubular one piece frame. We didn't buy simply because we hadn't tracked down a canvas at that point - something we now have, and it was a bit pricey!!

Could you let me have a piccie of 2 and a price and I'll get striaght back to you so Mark can step in if its a no.

Cheers

Pic as promised. I'd say it's got to be worth about £250? :)
 
Cheers Jon

Similar to what I've seen at the shows although much simpler (and neater) than most.

Will get back to you tonight if that's OK as it's probably as much about when and how much to get down to you as cost of the kit itself. Plus of course I'm a stingey Yorkshireman!!
 
Morning Jon

Whilst I think it's a fair price for the kit, by the time I factor in the added cost of getting down there it doesn't add up for me. I'm also rushing to finish a house renovation and it would be a full day out of the limited time I've got available at the moment.

Thanks for the contact though - over to you Mark!
