Title: Soft tops
Post by: Dave on December 12, 2006, 18:25:03

Can anyone tell me if the hoops of a 109 will fit on a 90 or can they be made to fit :?: . Then i can just get a new canvas.  :wink:
 Had no experience with soft tops yet, thanks for any help.

I am just getting a soft top for my 90 and believe that the door surrounds, and screen rail are different.

Si, Digger 90 has a full soft top set and canvas for sale for £250 in For Sales section and then you could sell your 109 sticks etc..

This has got the series doors so i gess it would be just the window top :D

I saw the one for sale but no money now. Thought i would get a new black canvas in the summer £220 if i have read it right.


Thanks guys

Door surrounds are also different as they have to attach to the windscreen frame and this is higher (and shaped) on the 90/110. You will probably get away with the hoops but that is it.

The hoops will fit but the front end is completely different, its nowt to do with the type of doors you have, its that the series & defender screens are different. The defender screens have a "curved" edge whereas the series are right angles. (I have a 90 with series, 2 piece doors, so I need a 90 front end frame set). Hope that helps.
