That shock conversion is very interesting and seems like it would stiffen up
the rear chassis. As far as the hardtop goes, doesn't look like any of the US
made versions. Might be able to get a bargain if it doesn't travel too far
past 150 pounds.

I have a question and an alternate source for shock conversions. On
ebay UK there is a BJ8 hardtop I have never seen before. Item number
is 260556071383. Can anybody shed some light on the source and comment
on fit or quality?
As to shock conversions, I have fitted one made in the Netherlands
by Michiel Capelle www.michielcapelle.nl . If you click on onderdelen
on the left of the website you can see a pic of the rear conversion.
It was very well made and fitted easily. The strong crossbrace stops
the twisting of the chassis rail and subsequent cracking I have seen
with other conversion. He also sells a copy of the Koni conversion for
the front. No financial interest etc
cheers
