Pop top mechanisms, where to buy?

[mrsa111]

I'm looking to get a little more head room from my pop top. As its set up now the front lifts maybe 8 inches up and the rear probably 3-4 ft. typical westfalia style wedge shape. This is the style mechanism i have..

I'd like to get another foot at least, maybe 2 ft. higher in the front. but i've been having a hard time finding any mechanisms that lift it any more than the the typical westfalia height. anyone know where they might be available to buy?

I could make one if i need to, just need to find someone to draw up the geometry.

can't you just extend the cross-pieces with new flat stock by a consistent amount? Then they will be at least be equal side-to-side

Thats what I was thinking, im having a hard time imagining if itd effect anything else, I was thinking that just making the long arms longer would mess with the angle the roof sits at when raised, but as far as i can tell, so long as where the two long arms cross is in the right spot, it should raise at the same angle. where the long arm that mounts to the top is mounted might effect the angle too.

I suppose I could just double or triple the length of everything, keep the ratios the same.
