pfenlon Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Looking for a nice beige hood for a TR6 (1969 ) used but A1 is OK if not which manufacturers hood seems the best bet. I have heard that DON Hoods are very good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hi Pete ~ I had a hood from DON Hoods for my 1956 Austin Healey '100' and it was perfect! Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jojim65 Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Pete, I don't think I'll agree on Toms comments very often but he is spot on this time. I bought one last December for my 6 and have been very impressed, very good quality and fits like a glove, actually keeps rain out and heat in. Having had the opportunity to compare a less expensive mohair hood in a direct comparison I was very pleased I spent the extra. They do have a long lead time though!
