[alfa] tops from Duetto Motors, or others?

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Group:

Has anyone ever purchased and installed one of the (115) Spider tops sold 
by Duetto Motors?

After a Google search I've found that the vast majority of Miata owners 
love their tops from Duetto, but the reviews from Alfa owners were not 
nearly that positive.  Any first-hand experience from fellow Digesters 
would be most welcome, along with other possible sources.

I've got a genuine Pininfarina top on my '87 Spider, so I guess I'm 
spoiled, but the Caribou top on my '74 has delaminated to the point of 
looking like one of the California Raisins, so it's got to go.  It's also 
shrunk so much that unless my wife is with me to help push the header down, 
I can't fasten the front clips.  I don't care about instructions, 
pre-punched holes, etc., I'm just looking for a good quality cloth top, and 
if I can avoid spending $600 that would be nice, too.  Overseas sources 
aren't looking very good because of the weakness of our $.

Regards,

Dean
