Default 1986 capri bimini top ideas

I bought a capri about 2 years ago and the previous owner had the original top but did not have the poles to put it up. I was wondering if anyone has a picture and or ideas of where I could get the poles and hardware to set this up.

IMO you may be forced to buying a complete bimini to get all the correct poles for your boat. Did you use the bimini finder here on iboats? http://www.iboats.com/mall/biminifin...****=157913080

I looked there and was pretty surprised at the price of the tops, this one is older and snaps to the windshield and looks like it may have come with the boat originally.

there was a thread here on the forums last year about makiing your own bimini, it referenced a place you could buy all the parts, poles, fabric, etc. Do a search to find it. There may be specific clamps for that pole setup, you could check ebay too just for the clamps.
