Is this bikini top bracket custom or available commercial?

[JAFO]

Saw this picture and it is what I have been thinking for a bikini top bracket, so I could leave the plastic cover over my wiper motor and still have the visors. Does anyone sell this or was this just custom made? I suspect it is custom. Don't mind making something, but also wouldn't mind just buying something ready made.

My guess is its from Toms Bronco parts with the split in the middle. All of our favorite vendors offer a bikini top riser bracket (and tops) just for this issue.

Oh, thanks. Did not realize they were offered as risers. Makes sense.

I believe that Best Top makes it so that you do need to remove the cover. You may need to slightly modify the cover though.

That picture is a standard bikini top or soft top riser with a wiper motor drop bracket. you cannot use the stock plastic cover with the wiper drop bracket unless you cut the passenger end off of it.

I like the look of it. It looks one piece, angled and polished or brushed.

Mine is from TBP and is two piece, vertical and black. Looks goofy.

Thanks all. I never really noticed on the vendor sites they stated 'riser'. I see now.

I ended up ordering the Bestop model because I like how it shows me the track in the pic of how the fabric is to slide into the track. And you don't relocate the wiper motor. Looks like I need a cord sewn into the end of my fabric and that end slips into the bracket. I have an industrial sewing machine and plan to sew my own top, but wanted a bracket ready made. I'll have the four point cage and will make some custom top for that.

I went with Bestop as well.

X3 on the Bestop. I have it for my '74 and it uses the tall riser so you don't have to flip the wiper motor and the wiper cover will fit.
