Well, my old faded top has ripped and it is time to replace it. At the same time I need to install different top irons, the ones I have are non-folding and for a roadster pick-up (yep, relatively new and still learning, missed that one when I bought the car). So I am on the hunt for top irons. It is a standard roadster and I would like to keep it that way. It is also a driver, just used for enjoyment not judging, but I would like to keep it as original looking as practical. It looks like I have at least three options. 1. Buy new original type 2. Buy a new "universal" type from Mike's and 3. Find a set of used originals (they don't seem to pop up often).

If you have changed or replaced top irons, can you share some of your experience and provide some advice?
