Paging Mickey914
I read on old post on rennlist that you were in the process of re manufacturing Saratoga tops for 914's. If this is true I really want to buy one! Please give us an update if you are still plan on making these. |

Hello everybody
Yes it is a converted original roof. There are one or two little things I would change. But not much. It is certainly not as good quality as the roof of the Mikey914 but it has become very good as I find and I like it. Especially since the effort has kept me limited. The main problem is to bring the acrylic glass into the right shape. If you know how is that no problem. On the next roof, the little things will not be any more ... I drove today for the first time and it is already a crazy feeling with it. It is just as bright as without a roof without wind. Very strange but nice. Lan Scott. Sorry iam not understand what is the Question from You |

I'm pretty sure early goes through '72 and late from '73 on but I won't swear to it. The window fit will be different to the roof so it does matter. |
