Shopping for a comfy soft top 4 seat convertible with a stick. Opinions?

I think we were talking about how a car company saved 10G by using the same part but realizing the bearing was too small so they adapted it to use a bigger bearing and then realized they needed a special tool to get the original design bolts on...Carry on. Some year Jag water pump $900. And that's just for the part...from Autozone! Counter guys were laughing at the poor guy when they saw the price.
