marki Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hi All. Has anyone fitted one of the fibreglass tops from Moss ? cheers Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 I believe they are the Honeybourne ones, are you on about the rear section or the hard roof? Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted September 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hi Stuart. Rear section, just wondering if they’re any good ? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hi Mark, have a good look at what you are buying as many of the rear frames are not having the various holes putting in them for attaching the roof etc. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malbaby Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 How much cheaper is the "Honeybourne" rear section to the new alloy reproductions now available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Hi Mal, not a lot. The HB is apprx £1200(ish) and the Ali frame is apprx £1500 (ish) The new Ali is a steal. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Richards And more if you want it painted and trimmed. The Honeyboure ones are a bit hit and miss now. Your right Roger they dont drill the holes for the soft top frame and the cup section for the hardtop bolt isnt fully cut out and the forward holes for the studs above the "B" post arent drilled.Obviously if you can afford it then either go for an original that turn up occasionally needing work or get a Revival one. If you have the time to refinish the Honeybourne ones properly then they can be made to look good as mine is. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted October 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Thanks for all the replies, it sounds like I may be better waiting until an original one come available. Cheers Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
62-tr4-DK Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) I have spottet one on Ebay I yellow for around GBP 3,200 With hardtop and Surrey. /NP Edited October 1, 2023 by 62-tr4-DK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Looks like Mark is selling his jig for the rear frames https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235224942137?hash=item36c47fc639:g:lhYAAOSwRWVlEZu4&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8MhcZEWeV%2FsW%2Bk%2BwQsV9qkEN39ChoQtCCbu%2BRlph3H1Bsq%2Byt61z1yfgGXwvVEYvZgRJt2RKwjeerlj1BpcdFEeVFQRG3Sj4srKuBKGFEPO3ARRdWYifMvcCKIkNJLdgYkJPlv9vayTqhrY%2F4rCjl71zpCFCCMroEc%2BTWkp9%2B5sFZZKaJ1zPRwZX%2BYu3oYbbshE8r%2FCDH3NPFiWDxdne3iIO%2FiFm6z5YzN5Y7nICyZmS6CQbAzWpDrt2jYDchoFPcTzElpkM7mRPceYYL4%2BGVknFxyxMbnlUWfpetAk2qp7ltkY8jNT%2FFqQbC5%2B1pWcDWw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9b86L_dYg Stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 I rather think the alloy pressing to be held in position and then welded in it are a bit more difficult to form. I would have thought he might just put a torch through that, if a competitor buys it there could be another outlet for the backlights. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
