Well done Rob!

Justin, have you had it done yet? I have not had to resort to getting things vulcanized yet but I know I may sooner or later. Only really one item needing it right now for me and that is the gas pedal on the 64 soft top. I was thinking of sending it to Metro Molded parts or similar for a vulcanizing.

Cheers

Nice work. I can imagine the fight you had getting the bottoms to fit back in the frame. I guess I know where to go to have mine done. ;)
Beyond any hope for intervention

Yes I sent the guy, Mike, my old ones and he makes the molds and remakes them. Here a link to the thread that I posted on them. They fit perfectly, with a little lube and a lot of elbow grease.
