    Canvas hood makers in AU?

    I have been searching for the details of someone who can make me a tonneau / bikini top in AU. There is much chat of the mythical beasts in the forums, but no contact details of people who have done it as far as I can find.

    I would prefer to keep my $$'s on shore, and not order from Exmoor Trim, but summer's round the corner and I need to get soft topped.

    Ideally, I'd like someone who has made one before, as I don't want to fund the R&D, but if they need the car to template from, it needs to be Sydney based.

    (Am also looking for some parts: Rear bench seats for an Series 3, and potentially full front seats in 75% or better condition. Will post this in "wanted" in Markets)

    Most of the people who used to make hoods made them to the original complete design, not the tonneau and bikini top designs. It seems that they have all retired.

    You will have to find a motor trimmer who does boats or even a tent maket like Harry Kramer. I believe that his company name is All Camping Supplies, 12 Railway Pde, Thornleigh Ph:

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    yep for a bikini style top... any decent motor trimmer should be able to do, they'll just need the vehicle for measuring and fitting
