Where to buy Saratoga Tops

This isn't technical, but I didn't know where else to ask...

Does anyone know where to buy a Saratoga top for a 944?

I honestly don't know if it's with hardware or not & 600$ could be less or more depending on the company you deal with.Holy smoke at that price it should come complet ready to install.

The original ad I found that was from a few years back looked like it had the hardware and was free shipping in the US (or maybe it was $49 shipping, either way it was cheap shipping).

Don't have it in my possession yet, but should this coming weekend or early next week.

Unfortunately my 944 S decided to be ill tempered and the shifter broke on me while driving yesterday. It started by feeling loose, then got really floppy to the point I almost couldn't shift while trying to get home. I took the boot off and the bolt holding the shift handle was really loose. I hope that's all it was. That and the PS leak keeps fighting me! I had it fixed! No leaks, no bubbles when bleeding... test drive and no leaks and levels remained good. Then from one store to another.... BOOM started leaking again and dumped my reservoir.
