mohair hoods...

[Optimus Wol]

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.

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.

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.
