I have a custom made one with an alloy roof and front window pannel i'll get some pictures, but shipping would be a killer.

can you post the pics i wouldnt mind a look ,but i maybe onto a source in aus to get new ones copied and manufactured ive found two others on this forum as well as myself looking for them .............

I used to work for the company that built Nat130's alli canopy and rack (Lowline) and they also used to do canvas work but failing that, I know 2 other canvas sewers but the only problem being that they are all down here in mexico

I'd just be looking in your local directory for canvas sewers in your area, it wouldnt be that much more exy than transporting a S/H one around OZ more than likely.

The hoops are not hard to make, I have used 3/4x3/4 2mm RHS before as it bends nicely and is relatively strong and you just use 1x1" RHS and some angle iron for the tray mounts or bolt them on by just welding the 3/4 hoops straight to the angel iron.

Hope that helps.

i have a after market canopy on my 130

great canopy and not to heavy

lightweight canvas all round you know the plastic kind of stuff
windows front and rear with side in tracks.........

it also has a full alloy flat top with roof rack

if your after pics let me know also

[lnd130]

pics would be good the flat top always good for extra storage. thanks, hiline

[hiline]

well i dont have many good ones of it .........

but this is from the side of coarse



and this gives you a idea of the inside bars


if your really interested in it i could take more detailed pics and measurements
for you

finally got pics of the canopy. It looks all dirty from laying around but it is better than it looks in the photos (that rear window is perfectly clear). Its made out of thin galvanised sheet pop rivited on 25x25 box section if anyone wants it, $300 and take it away.













The 130 it came off was fire damaged, but the only thing damaged on the canopy was the front perspex window and the paint on the front as seen in the pictures. Its missing the 2 rear uprights aswell. Its home made, but made very well.
