[Healeys] New Hood

[Bob Spidell]

Folks, 

The hood (aka convertible top) on my BJ8 finally gave up the ghost on my last road trip (the material parted ways with its seam along the front edge--good ol' duct tape made a decent temporary fix). I got good service from it--the car has nearly 180K miles--and it may well be the original hood. 

So, I'll need a new one. Moss sells three different grades, all from Robbins, which I hear is decent quality. Since I only pitch the hood in the most severe of weather it mostly remains stowed, and I don't need anything fancy, so I'm leaning towards the least expensive 'crush grain' vinyl (I may spring for the more authentic 'Everflex'). 

Appreciate any and all opinions or insights. Also, looking for a good installer in or near the SF Bay Area. 

TIA, 
Bob
