MG TD TF 1500 - TD 2 Bow Hood

Has anyone had any experience with Tops on line. I am after a stayfast hood and side curtains. Perhaps not Tops on Line do you have any other recommendations other than Moss.
Thanks

Looks like Tops on Line sells Robbins tops for the TD. Robbins has been around forever, but that doesn't mean they are good. They price the bow straps separately, so you have to do the math for price comparisons.

I believe they sell Robbins tops which I think are what Moss sells also. If I'm right, price would be the main consideration in deciding where to buy.

Yes they sell Robbins tops and as Joe said I feel Moss also sells the same. What I have to watch is the dollar exchange rate for the US has gone up and the Australian dollar has gone down. I have a price from the UK as well however they seem to be expensive. Of coarse the cost of an upholsterer to fit the hood has to be added to the cost. Has anyone had the experience of fitting a hood?

Fitting the hood is not as daunting as it seems. Its pretty straightforward. The main thing is to find the center on everything and have it well marked. I did my hood and it worked out very well. i just took my time. if I had to do it again, it would take less than half the time to install.

I highly recommend Dave Braun's site for installation details. For a modification that allows easy complete removal of the canvas see my article that Chris Couper published on, I think, TTypes 2. Jud
