My friend and I just installed a new canvas we got from Marc 
McCullough (poptops@leonardo.net) on his '71 Westy.  We were VERY 
impressed with the quality and price of the canvas.  As I recall, 
his literature also indicated that he sells rust-proof seals at 
what seem to be very good prices.  While I haven't seen the seals, 
I would expect them to be as nice as his canvas since pop-tops are 
his only business.
