FROGS ISLAND 4×4 NAS90 LOOK ALIKE SOFT TOP CONVERSIONS

The original Frogs Island 4×4′s NAS90 look alike soft-top conversion made to resemble the mid 1990s North American Specification Land Rover Defender. With this conversion there are a few areas we have managed to improve upon such as the sealing of the canvas around the doors. We have set out to replicate the NAS 90 with the utmost attention to detail and to the extent that we feel the standard of finish and quality of components used are unrivalled. The basic conversion includes a roll cage built for us by Safety Devices, the original builder of the factory fitted roll cages and Europe’s largest roll cage manufacturer. The cage has a full external front hoop to protect the windscreen which is chassis mounted, the intermediate hoop behind the driver and passenger is located into the rear body with heavy duty brackets and a matching rear hoop is body mounted to support the canvas and give the vehicle it’s traditional styling. All the hoops are tied together with horizontal and diagonal tubes to provide strength.

The canvas is made from black ‘Mohair’ although several colours are available. Mohair canvas is a fade and stretch resistant material favoured by the likes of BMW and Mercedes for their soft tops and the canvas is available with or without windows. The rear and sides can be rolled up providing a good draught leaving the top for shade or in case we have a shower of rain. The entire canvas can be removed in minutes and folded into the rear or left at home. Refitting it takes just a few minutes. The hardware to attach the canvas to the vehicle is produced to allow original Land Rover door seals to be used providing a water tight seal where the door shuts against the canvas, ‘Tenax’ clutch type stainless steel poppers are used to hold the canvas to the body, these are top quality marine application fasteners that put no strain on the canvas at all during removal and re-fitting. The gripper rail along the windscreen is from Land Rover parts and seals excellently against wind and rain.

A new interior light is installed in the original rear view mirror location and a new self adhesive mirror is fixed to the windscreen. For Defenders converted from a Hard Top or Station wagon we suggest a swing away tail gate with an attached swing away wheel carrier, this is also an option for vehicles that are converted from pick ups. Options include NAS type lights, load space mat and Rear step tow bar. We have also produced full NAS spec conversions on 110 Hard Tops and Station Wagons.
