Canvas hood for 130 Crew Cab. Price ?

[rijidij]

Has anyone had a canvas hood made for their 130 CC similar to the Exmoor one below, or imported the Exmoor one. What sort of price are we looking at ? I have the hoops, so it's just the canvas I'm considering.
I'm tossing up between a new canvas, or building a hard canopy myself.

I am looking at selling my fibreglass canopy and getting a canvas one.
You wouldnt be able to please find some time to measure up the frame would you? Otherwise point me in the right direction to a genuine one?

Its for an 01 130.

G'day Fraz,
I just started to measure the hoops for you, but I noticed they have been cut and welded near the bottom for some reason, so mine might not be the best example to take measurements off. Hopefully another 130 owner can get a tape out on to theirs.

My canopy frame has been cut down as well.

I would very much like to raise it 50mm to be in line with the roof, but then I am up for another canopy - one day!

I am sure the actual canopy material (like a canvas) would only be $300-$500, but if you need to get a metal frame built, that would a few more bucks.

Sorry for being that helpful

Cheers

just clarifying something please...there are 3 hoops for this model, not 2, is that right?
And how many sticks to join them up, is it 5?
If in fact there are 3 hoops, where does the middle one mount? There is no hole for it to go into. cheers, E.

The middle hoop has 'feet' and sits on top of the tub side with 2 bolts on each side to hold it down.

Thanks Rij, I might make the height up as I go.. Would it be too much to ask if you could take a few photos with and without the canvas on? Mainly at bends and joints if you could.

I can have the frame made up if I know what to ask for. I will have it made too high and then will adjust myself.

PM if you'd rather
Thanks again,

Here's some pics of the hoops. I don't have the horizontal bars that connect them, but they are just straight anyway. I can't take pics of the canvas fitted as it is ripped to shreds from strong wind we had recently. Hope these pics are helpful anyway.

Interesting, I don't have a middle hoop.????

Excellent photos Rijidij. My mate has checked his 130 HCPU and there are no holes drilled in the mid section of the tray to accommodate the middle hoop you showed.
So I guess, being an optional extra from new, the dealer would have drilled them when fitting a canopy?
Are you able to advise how many connecting pieces there are please? Is it 5? Are they all identical and how do they attach to the hoops? Don't suppose you took a picture of them as well?
I have asked before, but I don't suppose anyone has a full frame for sale and/or a canopy for that matter? (although we already have the front hoop and the sail track fitting that sits on top of the tray below it).
Cheers, E.
