SJ/samurai swb soft top recommendations? was created by yakuza

I am in need of a new soft top for my SJ410.
The ebay ones from India doesn't look right but are they OK?

Not buying anything from US sellers now but can the besttop be found elsewhere still?

Does anyone have any recommendations?

On your blog it says Master Forest in france?

looked at those, seems like an OK price and it looks the part how it should in your pictures.
And if it fits well it seems like an ok deal.

The besttop fit is probably the best we have seen. There is a "soft spot" above the windows on each side where the tension is not quite enough to get the canvas 100% taught but it is already a tight fit onto the studs.

It comes with some tensioning straps which we have never used because we leave the tensioning straps for the bikini top fitted in the same place. It might be that the tensioning straps will take out the slight soft spot.

As I think "bikini top" weather has passed, I might trial fit the main hood tensioner straps and see what it achieves
