swissbob Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hello all I'm currently ⅓ of the way through a restoration project, bodywork and chassis restored by the very excellent protek engineering, and have saved up enough to start on the hood and interior. As I live in Switzerland it's difficult to visit shops that sell hoods and all the websites and adverts in ccw look good, so, can anyone recommend a good supplier. I've looked at TR Revington and car hoods direct and they look ok, but would prefer advice. Also, my current hood is battered with rips/tears just above the corner of the windows and I'm just wondering if no matter what hood I get if will they tear in the same place. Does anyone have any experience with that and can offer advice? Many thanks Bobby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I recommend Don Hoods. Excellent fit and originality. Most damage to hoods seems to come from not folding them properly for stowage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRseks Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Agree on Don hoods, just fitted one and is pleased with quality, also the help/advice from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark69 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi Bobby There is a thread on here somewhere showing how to fold a hood properly. Also on YouTube. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
