cab hood covers

[Madone_si]

what are they made of? vinyl? if so i'd be able to make one if i had a pattern. vinyl costs feck all.

Joe - if emerald wants a vinyl one - you can use my hood cover for the pattern mate. (side business I think..  )

No prob - see what the boys say on monday.

i'd keep an eye on that ebay one if i were you but if anyone has an old one they'd like me to use as a pattern i'm sure i could knock a few out!

I've got a spare cream one kicking about that I wont be using. It needs a bit of a clean up though. 

They did do them in slightly different styles though as the older ones had less press studs than the newer ones.  gtijoe could probably make one up a lot cheaper than this but I got one made up for £190. 

If you need to do a search on ebay or wherever then search for tonneau cover, apologies if you already know this.

what do the newer ones have instead of press studs? if no-one wants the cream one i might have it to use as a pattern.......

No our kid, they both had press studs, but the newer ones had an extra bit of material and press studs that go onto the black side bits on either side of back seats, too hard to explain, I'd need to show you mine (oo err ! )

joe, how much you thinking of making them for?

gibby, is your cream cover a new or older one?

It's an older one. 

They also have some plastic caps in them that are used to protect the hood against the metal rods of the roof when its down but I've only got one of them and they are discontinued because I tried to get one.

for you? i'm sure we could come to some arrangement.....now about those shiney trousers!

but seriously though i cant see them working out too expensive. they look fairly simple and i can get vinyl cheap enough so its just a matter of me and my sewing machine!
