Re: NOS or Repro Vinyl Tops??

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

Good luck finding that cinnamon colored "Baja" grain
vinyl.  My 73 Javelin had the same material for the
top.  My local vinyl top guy said the closest he could
come was "levant" grain.  He showed me his sample and
it is coarse but not as coarse as the Baja grain.  You
might try Original Auto Interiors (MI) or SMS in
Oregon to see if they have the Baja grain.  You might
also try APD or Kennedy to see if they can help you
track it down by part number.   There was an NOS
(precut (for Javelin)) cinammon top on Ebay for
several weeks but I don't know if it sold.  I'm
changing to a black vinyl top BTW.
