I've got a hood with a frame, will try to dig it out at the weekend and sketch/dimension it. My RV had it fitted at Stoneleigh, it's approx 15mm tube, bends looked like standard pipe bender radii, flattened ends with holes drilled for pivots.

Chris if you can get the dimensions and photos I could make one out of S/Steel Tube. We use a lot of it at work and have the machines to bend and flatten it ;D Could do it fairly cheap as well as we do seem to have a lot of waste

Thanks Colin, sounds interesting. The hood shape is a bit naff, I think it would be possible to improve the shape with a slightly more complex frame and some subtle mods to the cover. That's way down the priority list at present though.

I am off work all this next week (worked 28 days without a break ) Do a rough sketch with sizes and I shall get one of the lads in the office to do a tech drawing and get one made up when I go back ;D I want a hood for mine (hard top at the moment) so should be able to knock out at least 4 or 5 before the boss finds out what I am up to

Have to wait for Chris to come up with his dimensions and drawings then I go back to work, if alls well should be before Xmas

Sketch is done image scanned and uploaded. See notes below before you rush off and hit metal. Dimensions were different side to side etc and this frame may well be a homemade one (or perhaps they are all as bad). I have tried to select what I think should be the nominal dims. My cover and frame are old. Would be good to check with the cover that is available now to make sure it all works. Will post photos later, hopr they will help to make sense of the sketch. Let me know if it is useable.

Kirk,
Can you check your hood frame against the dimensions in the sketch?? If they are close then that should be good basis to proceed.
Thanks.
