not doing standard sized at the moment mite think about it later it will be a lot of work to get a mould made and will end up costing a lot in time I will be looking in to it and it will be considerably cheaper than the one that's available
this one im working on now has got to have one off hinges made that are being drawn up on CAD and lazer cut out so they fit the original soft top clamp holes and all out off 316 marine grade stainless to cope with the conditions as will the gas rams and the fixings for the rear.
here's a few little pics of the shape its no were near finished I think a day and half and ill be taking a mould off it the about a day on the mould then hopefully the weekend ill have the first one popped out to work on perfecting wile the hinges are being done then to find the right length rams and fit window and rubbers so lots to do but getting there reasonably quick
putting a 45% angle all the way round to take out that sharp edge and some more shaping of the outside ring bit to angle it a bit to match the body line
also going to be doing a mould for fitting a spare instead of window as this is what I want (I think) one more thing to think about is a window wiper/washer but I don't know how this will work out with a Perspex window

Looks like you are cracking on with this, watching with interest.
Not that I want one but good to see someone having a go ...............
