F60s cmp laat canvas
 
Dear friends,

Can any one kindly tell me where I may be able to purchase a new tilt canvas for my Ford LAAT?

I live in the United Kingdom.

The two military canvas company’s I have come across only work on American Vehicles.

Any helpful advise would be very much appreciated.

Keep safe

Kind regards,

Mark Towers

Hi Mark, you could contact Richard Hughes via email.

I am sure he will be able to help. Mention that I gave you his details.

Hi Andy,

Thank you very much for pointing me in a positive direction.

I will email now and kindly mention that you have put me in touch.

I will report back with an update soon.

The canvas that came with my LAAT 8 years ago is well and truly beyond repair now ... hopefully Richard Hughes can help.

Kind regards

Mark

Mark,

I am sure the question for LAAT canvas has come up on the forum before....maybe 2 years ago or so. Was it James Gosling maybe? It could be worth partnering up.

regards,
Alex

Thank you very much for your input ...

It’s definitely worth exploring!

Thank you kindly.

LAAT canvas tops
 
Hello Mark,

James was indeed looking for a LAAT canvas, but this was back in 2014. He later reported Jim Clark of Allied Forces had planned to do a limited run of LAAT canvas tops, but I do not know if this ever came to fruition as James sold both of his LAATs in 2015.

I am sure there is a (latent) demand for this, and it must help tremendously if you have an existing one to use as a pattern.

he may be able to use the old one as a basic pattern, hopefully see him in a couple of weeks

Hi friends,

I can now confirm that Richard Hughes has kindly agreed to make my LAAT tilt.

Thank you all so much for your helpful advice.

I’ll post some pics when complete :)

Until then ... keep safe ..
