I would highly recommend Dan (screen name Quivers). I have no problems helping do a complete top frame swap, but cloth only I'd leave to a pro.

Being a past-replacer of just top, keeping the original frame, if you have the choice, my goodness replace the whole thing. It's been nearly a year and I STILL have leaks related to the replacement job.

Phong and I tried our hardest on this swap, and I still feel like we did inadequately.

For what it's worth, I live in the downtown area and have done 3 or 4 (I forget now) full frame top swaps, and would be willing to help you do the swap for a case of 312.

No no, sir. You got me so much further than I ever could have done myself. Thank you both, again.
