    Cant help you other than to say you need all the fittings to go on the windscreen, sides of vehicle, tailgate, and of course the door surrounds to tie it down to

    from memory on a series II/III arent all the canopy tie downs already in place..

    Im assuming you have all the body work but are in need of a canvas?

    Im fairly certain the one that I have is for a LWB but if youd like to borrow it to template it your more than welcom to..

    Best place to buy a new canvas is from the UK, it costs, but it is new!! Exmoor trim or somewhere like that does them.

    Other bits that you need. 2 canopy hoops, plus the bars to connect them and the small middle hoop. You need the 4 clamps to hold the hoops down, a rope rail for along the top of the windscreen as well as the 2 rails for over the top and sides of each door.

    Makeing a set from scratch would be a difficult task. Your best bet is to scratch around wrecking yards to build up a full set from bits. If you go to the website www.fwd.com.au you will be able to download a pdf file of their series vehicles catalouge which will give you an exploded view of the parts you need. The e-bay seller was selling SWB tilts for series vehicles he sold a couple but dosent seem to be advertising at the moment. They were $450 each from memory. I think you would do better ordering from the UK.
