Canvas Roof help

Mongoose · Post by **Mongoose** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 4:42 pm

Looking for some advice on a canvas roof, maybe from the Landy guys. I'm putting a short cab from an FJ45 ute on my FJ40 and want to have a canvas roof over the rear like on the military Landies.

Here's the truck in it's current state:

Here's sorta what I'm looking for:

Plan to bend up a a lightish tube frame to support it, anybody got any ideas where I can get something canvassy and roofy?

Also anyone got any door catch mechanisms I can put into the little short doors, reckon the wof guy isn't going to like my current tied-closed with wire method.
Cheers,

Go visit Ascot canvases near the dump just off pages road. They are great guys to deal with and should be able to fab something up for you. They are 4wd nutters and hunters so should look after you.

Thanks again Mike, better make up a frame first but I'll give them a yell when I'm done.
