not as far as i know  ???

the yrm panels will replace the entire top - but - they come in two bits - and have no vent holes

i have used yrm panels - they are top notch for fit and quality - but i , like you am still looking for a replacement top rail  :(

I just made a replacement top rail from sheet steel.

`87 ninety - full rebuild with 11l 200tdi conversion ,2 inch lift and 13 inch shocks and relevent protection/sliders./ dislocation cones

Goes like a stabbed rat.

there is a top rail repair section available on ebay but its £110

the yrm panels i have used in the past are good, my concern is what i find underneath the existing panels. i wonder about gettting an old bulkhead with a good top and cutting the whole top section of and doing any local repairs

surely a properly done repair has nothing but air underneath it ?

cut out the rot dont patch over it.

ah yes - im familiar with that :D

infact some kind soul in the past had cut the structure out of mine - clearly cut with a disk and stuck a repair panel over the top.

so i had to use various pictures and common sense to rebuild the structure under mine.
