Full 88 canvas hood.

**timjohn** · 26th July 2017, 01:59 PM

I had a sand full hood and hoops sent out from Exmoor: the hood cost £268.79, the delivery £398, but that included a whole slew of other parts.... Invoice below.

Must say I'm pleased with the fit of the hood, although the hoops took a bit of gentle persuading to fit.

Chewers, Mick.

No I didn't - it was an Exmoor trim tilt, but I bought it from All four x 4.

Spoke to Australian Customs.
No Fee if the value is under $1000.
Just need to confirm with Kim, if the cost is the Mohair hood.

Yup, sorry I supposed Ro say $1000, guess that's why I'm not in retail. The hood he quoted me for was the standard canvas tilt.

You may be better off getting the ones you have straightened and/or augmented with locally made bits or from wrecks if you can find them.

Admittedly, the canvas tilts look good but really don't enjoy much longevity - either over there or here. For the relative prices hardtops are probably a better long run deal - certainly will outlive canvas by a fair margin under normal wear and tear conditions.

One of Toms ordered.

Evening email questions answered by morning.
Very helpful.
Best to deal with, compared with the other 3 sellers.
S3 SWB 88 full hood, with rear window and exterior, roll up, cover flap. Old style Brass Buckles. Trackable postage $723. @ current exchange rate.
Tom explained he makes them baggy, and probable require two wet down and dry process. He said It stops stitching, shrinking and breaking.
Factory reopens in a week, then a week before posting.
