    A CJ-5 bikini top will technically work, but probably won't fit all that great due to the slightly narrower windshield width. I would think that proper placement of the side snaps could help offset most of the misfit, though? Sorry, can't help with a mfg or vendor for a 3A specific bikini though...

    I have been using a CJ5 bikini top on the 3B for 3 decades and they work just fine. All I did was add a snap on both sides of the windshield frame like Toby noted. The rest pulls tight just like it should.

    I used a 76 and later CJ7 Bikini top. They're narrower than the ecj5 tops, so they should fit a little better. I curled the front around, and buttoned to the front of the windshield frame.
