No $1000 on goods only - will change later this year I think to GST on any amount.

So up to $1000 goods only but if over $1000 you pay GST and taxes etc on goods and shipping etc.

I stand corrected!

My Brother in Toowoomba is a trimmer. He has series owning customers but I don't know of he's done a canvas top for one.
He's done mountains of truck tarps though. If he's not too far from you I'll give him a hoy.

Hi

I can give you a few tips

I researched the canvas , took me 10 years !!!!!!!!!!

I had a lucky break and got hold of a genuine factory 80" top .The Original canvas was a heavy 24 oz duck pure cotton , the only places making that stuff these days are in Pakistan or India or maybe China . Exmoor use a modern thinner canvas , it is lighter. Dealing and importing from Pakistan would be a nightmare .

I had a loan of a exmoor 3 seater top, many thanks to you from Traralgon way !!!!!!!!!!!! I made the patterns up from MDF board . Got a good sewing machine and with some practice , I made my own

The webbing and buckles are standard British 1" ..been around since the 1930's ..these are very easy to find . Your local disposal store will have surplus WW2 army brass buckles , exactly the same as series 1.

I used the Aussie canvas Billabong or Coolabah . A seller on EBAY sells seconds cheap , rolls of it .
