Canvas and frames

[Colin R]

Anyone out there know of anyone who can fabricate the complete tilt for the wireless tub as used out C8s etc, would prefer UK for obvious reasons!
Or if anyone has the measurements for the tubing & canvas and wouldn't mind sharing it? Pretty please!!!!
while I'm on the subject, I've seen vehicles with the canvas sections on the doors (Side curtains are they called?), and again was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for getting these fabricated or even original for the C8.

Allied Forces will make any thing, but unless you have the exact measurements, they will want the vehicle in their work workshop.
Be prepared for a long waiting list.

Also as has been discussed before on this forum, if you want anything other than green or sand canvas, you are out of luck in the UK.

Mid-war brown canvas is only available on the continent and no UK hood maker will import any as they claim there is no demand.

Hi Colin,

If you can wait till Beltring next year, LwD can bring them.
We always carry them on our stall, that saves you a bit of shipping costs eh!
The ones we have are NOS and matte green.

Cheers,

Thak you very much Neil & Stefan. Stefan how much would I be looking at for the pair? Unfortunately I didn't have the C8 this year but do remember seeing your stall. You might remember seeing a C8 for sale at Beltring this year, green one with not much on it, well its me who bought it via Ebay! So I might be spending a little longer at your stall this year!!!

Yes I remember that C8, that is a good start for sure!
For prizes on the curtains please contact Dirk, you can contact him through his website: www.lwdparts.com.

I hope you can bring it to Beltring this year or next Beltring, there aren't to many CMP eight hundred weights around!

Cheers and merry christmas to all of you!
