Puma soft top
Anyone converted a puma to a soft top ? I'm thinking of a nearly new 90truck cab and going for a full soft top. Anything I need to know out of the ordinary ? Internal alarm sensor disabling...type of header rail....mirror mount....all a bit different from my series one...Any pics or advice would be great...

Mirror mount is on the screen itself (a riveted on bracket) so no probs there.


top rail, depends on what kind of "canvas" or roof you get, but usually these days it's the later type.

movement sensor (if it's the same alarm as a Td5) can just be disabled or unplugged.... my 90 (soft top Td5) doesn't have one. i've not disabled it, just unplugged.

Perfect. Any idea who made that PVC hood in the photo above ? I think the exmoor trim guys don't do PVC only canvas ( lots of colours) and XS mohair (black) . I have a wolf with PVC tilt and I like it. The wolf tilt is diddly but that one looks great....

Thanks in advance Sib
