Adrian,

I bought some from Tap Plastics at:

312 Castro St
Mountain View, CA 94041
(650) 962-8430

I don't know if they have an on-line catalog or not, but you could call and
ask.  The bad news was that I had to buy a whole lot, about $35 worth as I
recall.

I also bought some glue and used that instead of sewing it in.  It doesn't
look that neat from the inside, but I never put the top on anyway, wife just
insists I have it before going anywhere overnight.  I replaced the large
window in my TR3 top. I strated by cutting out the old window. If I had to
do it again, I would leave a cross of the old material until I had the new
stuff glued in. Once that window is out it isn't easy to keep th eopening
the right shape.

Good luck,
Bob
