While at billing i saw a canvas truck cab and now i want one. but first
i have to get the hod sticks, any ideas where from? a search of e bay
hasn't thrown anything up?

i guess i only need the front part, but since its a SWB anyway, i guess
its only the reay hoop i wouldn't use anyway?

cheers

If you are anywhere near Manchester/West Yorkshire I've got a s/hand set
that I was going to put on e-bay.

Exmoor do sell just the truck cab stick set. Mind you, it ain't cheap!

For the truck cab only you don't need the rear hoop, or the two
bracing bars that run from the front hoop to the back. So if you get a
s/h full set you just don't use these bits.

Although you do need to fix some of those little hook things that run
along the side of the body (underneath the cappings) to the rear of
the seat bulkhead to tie the canvas down to.

Wha? Truck cab or full length, you still need the windscreen and door
top, and the first hoop.

i think you 2 guys have a different idea of what a truck cab rag is!:

Alex is going for a truck cab but made out of canvas (so just covering
the front seats) and leaving the load space uncovered

Austin is going for a rag that just covers the rear load space - in
which case you dont need the windscreen bits as you generally have a
metal truck cab over the front.

I had always thought the same as Austin.

Just a thought Gary, the ones I have are Series 11/111 type 88" full
length. It's not a set for a 90" that you want is it? They cost me £75 but
I didn't use them as I intended, a couple of the rubber seals round the door
are missing but otherwise complete. A reasonable offer?

nono, the bits of frame on the top of the windscreen and linking the
windscreen to the first hoop, I meant. the truck cab hood just has 2 hoops
(SWB, anyway), surely?

not that I've looked, of course, going from dubious memory.

If you mean just the bit which covers the load bay at the back, it is
correctly known as a 3/4 hood or tilt - regardless of wether it's for
a SWB or a LWB -
http://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/images/400pixel/cabnhood_s2.jpg

Originally only 3/4 and full hoods were available. Now you can also
get a truck cab hood which goes from windscreen to just behind the
doors (88 or 109) and takes the place of the metal truck cab.
http://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/images/400pixel/wrighty_tc_hood.jpg

Also available is a Bikini hood, which while covering the same as the
truck cab has no rear canvas/window.
http://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/images/400pixel/montybikini.jpg

And if you have a full hood, but require to keep the back rolled up,
it is possible to purchase a fume curtain, which is just the bit which
goes behind the front row seats. Useless on it's own, but with a full
hood it keeps the exhaust fumes out and the heat in (mostly)

Hi Oily,

Yes its for an 88 series 2A.

If i've worked this out correctly, there should be the strip across the
top of the windscreen, a piece across the top of each door, a piece down
the back of each door and then a full hoop. yours shouldl also contain a
couple of diaganals and the rear hoop as well?

which are the rubbers that are missing?

where abouts are you? - i'm in Sheffield.

I'm working away all this week so might not get back on till next week
end, but im interested.

Gary

Yes, I've got all the bits you mention.

Just the rubber strips that seal to the door tops, I'll check how many
tomorrow. I think they are the same as on the hardtop, in which case I
should have some second hand ones.

You can pick them up anytime or if it's weekend I can drop them or meet you
halfway.

they are the same as the hardtop stuff (or it fits perfectly even if
not original spec).
rivet on door seal is available cheaply off the roll or better push on
stuff is also easy to get hold of.

Thanks Tom, I couldn't remember if they were the same, 'old timers disease'
catching up.

By the way, if you do want them Gary, the dot co dot uk should be dot com
and take away the obvious.
