Brian the question really is who makes the only one? With Kayline going out of business and all I believe a best top tiger top is your only option. There's always a bikini extreme I guess.

Kayline and Bestop are the only two companies that I know of. I don't know if ou can get one new though because I believe that they stopped production of all of there tops until someone bought out the company or something like that. Spector probably could point you in the right direction just be careful not to take it in the hot hole from those guys. <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> Good luck

If anyone is interested, I have the softtop part of the Bestop Tigertop that I'm getting rid of. It's brand new, never been installed. I don't have the hardware, but I imagine that you could get that seperate from Bestop.
Edit: It's for a 64-84 Landcruiser.

How much looking for that top? I have the original ragtop hardware, do you think it would work with your top?
