I've had very helpful conversations with Nigel Brookes and a hood guy in Southend. It seems that the best way is to give them the car and make-to-fit. No brainer.
My problem is the screen etc as its a different size to the standard TF. Oh and it goes with saying doors but that's a known-known problem which I'll engineer a solution.
Know anyone who can make me a bespoke windscreen?
Such fun

Hi there,
If you are going the bespoke Hood Side & Screen route then I can recommend a guy in Bromley Kent. He made a nice Mohair Hood for my JC Midge last year.

You would need to leave the car with him for at least two-days though.
The firm is Cass Brothers and they have been making hoods and car seats for over 30 years; this includes Jaguars, Bentleys and even Hot Rods!

If you are interested in using them give me a ring on 01732 453639.

My name is Robert Garrett and I am the new area rep for Kent and Sussex.

Good Luck

Thanks for the info Robert.
