I think this might be the same as asking for 'hen's teeth' but I have managed to get hold of the frame but it hasn't got the soft top cover.
Would anyone have the cover for sale or would anyone know if you can still get one from somewhere? Does anyone still have the templates etc?
Thanks in advance,
DEAN

You'll be lucky... At least it's as simple a soft-top shape as you could have, I reckon. Ask around locally or check adverts and stuff for - hmm, what would they be called? - upholsterers/ seamstress/ clothes adjustments, that kind of stuff. There's a lady around here - in Bideford - who made up new covers for my mum-in-law's garden swing-seat. Terrific job, complete with edge beading and stuff, and I recall thinking "That was bludy cheap.". Pretty sure there are people in most localities who could tackle jobs like that, but they'd obviously have to start from scratch making up templates. There are, of course, companies who specialise in making soft tops, but again the problem is having to start from scratch. I doubt there are many good RV soft-tops out there, but if someone has a tatty one it would be ideal for making templates, and - once made - the 'upholsterer' could make further tops to demand?

Google "Car trimmers Devon", I was surprised at how many you have.

Come to think of it, AndyRVMac had a bikini top (for the RV...) made by someone local to him - around Okehampton. That was bespoke, and turned out very neat and well made.
He can be PM'd via the site, or happy to do it for you.

Hi Scooby. Thanks for the response.
I'm struggling to find him so that I can PM him. Would you mind asking for a company name/contact please?
Really appreciated.
DEAN
