surrey top using a soft top

[dpb]

I've seen the various threads on here about using a soft-top header rail as a replacement for the front fixing for a surrey soft insert, which seems like a good plan.

 

I have an old soft-top in reasonable condition, but rather than trying to graft a surrey soft insert onto it, I thought maybe I could just use the whole thing with its front fixing, cut the top to size and sew in the surrey rear rail. Cut the surrey bars to fit onto the header rail somehow.

 

 

Anybody done this?
