Where can you buy this?

This seems to be a major weight reducing item that doesn't cost much!

How much labour to install? About half a day?

IMHO... you really don't want to install this without a front cage... I am welding in a clubsport cage and adding a couple more reinforcement bars (roof and side protection)... the same should also apply when running lightweight doors.

I'm pretty sure labour is the catch here. Since they have to cut up your oem roof. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Tom has mentioned that front and rear windows must be removed and the roof is bolted in (also a few spot welds in there)... I will be getting my usual coachwork specialists to do the work.
