anyone know of any good companies that can supply and fit a new mohair hood? might be purchasing a mk1 soft top soon, but i think the hood is a bit shoddy......
apperently i heard it can be done for about 300 notes, but f*ck knows where.
cheers guys and gals. :wink:

Depends on where you are.
The company that did mine, Top Job Hoods, are based in Norwich but are a mobile service. New mohair hood, fitted with all tension cables etc was £450 and true to their name, it was a top job. I was very impressed.
If it's any help, the number is 07876 632536 – ask for Milton.

You wont get a better price than that anywhere. I think just the cost of mine was around that without fitting. :shocked:

I think you are right on the company name...
I installed the hood myself - so I saved the 117.50, as I replaced my back window - but at 117.50 its worth getting someone else to install it..

i was asked to leave the car there for the day.i think they do other jobs in between doing the hood.the price also includes new cables.

cheers guys, but the boy who was selling the car wants to keep it now, bugger that he is. only wanted a new roof and a good T-cut.
ah well, just have to keep an eye out for another one!! as said thanks a lot for the numbers :cool:
