Post challenge plans call for a functional soft top in my 99.

I have a very rough na miata top frame here from an unknown year. (At least i was told it was na when given to me)

My current roll bar will clear a hardtop, but not the na frame. So....

What are rge actual differences between na/nb tops? Are the hinges/dimensions/supports/etc different? I know the nb tops were supposedly easier to operate, and came with a back glass window instead of plastic.

What im trying to get at is whether or not I'll have to recage the car for a soft top. If an nb top is structurally different than an na, ill grab a frame and see if it clears rhe current bar. If not, then ill use the one i already have.

Surprised no one has commented, but pretty sure only difference is not-glass, or glass rear window. 

Watch, that'll be totally wrong now that I'm the idiot to post....

Pretty much what i thought. To have a top, i have to redo the bar. 

Ill list it here when i sell tge old one.
