One of the REMLR guys was offering to manufacture the tarps to Aus mil spec, check out the REMLR forums.

Sorry I don't know the differences between the Aus and U.K, other than the people who make the civilian spec. canvas hoods say there is too much work in the military type.

Regarding U.K. Spec hoods you could try P.A. Blanchard (https://secure.pablanchard.co.uk/default.asp) in the U.K. who have a lot of ex-MoD stuff.

Unless you need an aus spec one, go to somewhere like PA Blanchard, Exmoor trim or all wheel trim in the UK.

The australian ones have open windows with covers which is the main difference rather than no or clear plastic windows.

I ordered one from Comptons 2000 in the UK and sent a picture of an Aus Ex Mil canopy.

They were happy to do the changes and did not charge any extra.

It is not exactly Mil Spec but I quite like it, another surprise was the addition of some flyscreen material to the open windows. I was a bit shocked at first but the addition is actually quite cool.

In March 2010 I was quoted 250 pounds plus postage which was around 190 pounds at the time.

Don't think red rocket was making them at the time put the price was comparable.

If you like I will post up some photos of the canvas as delivered and when I put it on.
