Hey,
Got a brand new top i'm wanting to put on my 110 but need the rear sticks (all three verticals as well as the horizontals)  I have the front rails but am currently missing the rear.  May end up trying to make some up, but already made ones would be good.
If you have any kicking around please let me know.

None around? 
Might try my hand at making some I guess - Not sure if these dimensions are right though, anyone give a quick eyeball?

They are quite hard to come by over here. Most, if not all, civilian utility Land Rovers ever sold in North America came with hard tops. There are a few kicking around from the early Army 110's (with the usual Army wear and tear) but the later units were also all hard top. They are also bulky and expensive to ship from the UK.

No Road Except For Land-Rover.

Agreed - and if you do find them, you pay through the nose. 

I can't see the photobucket link, but I made the sticks for my S2 out of  1" electrical conduit.  Between that, a pipe-bender and a hammer and you're all set!

By the way Defender and Series use the same hoops.

I may have a lead on a full set, you'd likely be paying the going rate for them though, whatever that turns out to be. Will send you a PM if he has any.

Thanks for the info folks.  I do have some parts already but may end up trying to manufacture the main rear sticks.  Good to know the random internet plans are decently accurate.
